DANFOSS VLT INVERTER ERROR CODES

Modern, microprocessor controlled inverters are equipped with extensive mechanisms of self-diagnosis. These diagnostic systems:

  • check the correct operation of a functional blocks inside the inverter
  • supervise in a real time conditions the operating parameters (power supply, inverter & converter circuits, load, etc) to ensure the inverter is operating in a safe operation area

In case of a faulty operation of the inverter, very often an alarm is raised on an operator's panel with an error code. That provides an information leading to possible causes of a fault. The following table summarizes the error codes for Danfoss inverters:

 

  • Danfoss VLT 4006 - 4072 VT (380-460V)
  • Danfoss VLT 4006 - 4032 VT (200-240V)
  • Danfoss VLT 4006 - 4072 VT (550-600V)
  • Danfoss VLT 5001 - 5062 (380-500V)
  • Danfoss VLT 5001 - 5027 (200-240V)
  • Danfoss VLT 5001 - 5062 (550-600V)
  • Danfoss VLT 6002 - 6072 (380-460V)
  • Danfoss VLT 6002 - 6032 (200-240V)
  • Danfoss VLT 6002 - 6072 (550-600V)
  • Danfoss VLT 8006 - 8072 AQUA (380-460V)
