LCD Designation Possible Causes Actions
PTC trip
PTC or PTC leads short-circuited
or broken
Check leads, remove fault. PTC:
Motor for repair. If not possible,
switch off PTC monitoring “PTC
PROT/OFF“.
Stator winding overheated by:
• Overload
• Too many starts/hour
• Too many warm starts/hour
• Obstructed cooling
• High ambient temperature
Wait until motor has cooled down
sufficiently for a reset.
• Search for cause and
eliminate.
• Reduce starts/hour.
• Reduce number of warm
starts/hour.
• Clean motor and cooling air
intake.
• Protect against heat; reduce
load or switch off installation.
Phase
sequence
protection
(motor supply)
Wrong phase sequence of supply
to converter module
Connect phase leads in correct
sequence.
Phase failure
trip
(based on
motor supply)
Faulty fuse:
Short-circuit/earth (ground) fault
Remedy damage, replace the
fuse.
Failure during start
Redimension fuse (noting
short-circuit coordination).
Broken lead
Check cables and terminal
connections.

Stator winding overheated by:
• Overload
• Too many starts/hour
• Too many warm starts/hour
• Obstructed cooling
• High ambient temperature
Wait until motor has cooled down
sufficiently to permit reset.
• Search for cause and remedy.
• Reduce start/hour
• Reduce warm starts/hour
• Clean motor and cooling air
intake.
• Protect against heat. Reduce
load or shut down the
installation, and wait until
motor has cooled down
sufficiently for a restart.
