CHAPTER 12
Troubleshooting the Drive
The GV6000 AC drive provides the following ways to determine the status of the drive
and to troubleshoot problems that may occur:
• LEDs on the front of the drive
• User-configurable and non-configurable alarms
• User-configurable and non-configurable faults
• Entries in the fault queue
• Drive status parameters
12.1 Verifying that DC Bus Capacitors are Discharged
Before Servicing the Drive
The drive’s DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input power has been
disconnected. Perform the following steps before touching any internal components.
Step 1. Turn off the circuit breaker and lock out input power. Wait 5 minutes.
Step 2. Open the drive’s cover.
Step 3. Verify that there is no voltage at the drive’s input power terminals.
Step 4. Measure the DC bus potential with a voltmeter while standing on a
non-conductive surface and wearing insulated gloves. Refer to figure 12.1.
Step 5. Once the drive has been serviced, reattach the drive’s cover.
Step 6. Reapply input power.

ATTENTION:DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input
power has been disconnected. After disconnecting input power, wait five
(5) minutes for the DC bus capacitors to discharge and then check the
voltage with a voltmeter to ensure the DC bus capacitors are discharged
before touching any internal components. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in severe bodily injury or loss of life.
