Symptoms
The drive has detected an output current exceeding the overcurrent trip threshold. The motor and drive are immediately stopped to prevent damage.
Possible Causes
- Motor or cable short circuit between phases or to ground
- Motor load is too heavy or mechanically jammed
- Acceleration time is too short causing excessive starting current
- Motor parameters do not match the actual motor
- IGBT power module damage in the drive
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Check motor and cable insulation with a megger (insulation tester)
Insulation resistance is above minimum (typically >1 Mohm for standard motors) - Step 2: Verify motor parameters in group 99 match the motor nameplate
All motor nameplate data is correctly entered - Step 3: Increase acceleration time parameter (group 22) to reduce starting current
No overcurrent trip with longer acceleration time - Step 4: Check for mechanical jams or excessive load on the motor shaft
Motor can rotate freely without excessive mechanical resistance - Step 5: If the fault persists, the IGBT module may be damaged - contact ABB service
Drive is repaired or replaced by authorized service
How to Reset
To reset: 1) Resolve the overcurrent condition. 2) Press the RESET button on the panel or send a reset command via fieldbus. 3) Restart the motor. Do NOT reset without fixing the root cause.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What causes fault 2310 on ABB ACS580?
Overcurrent - check motor/cable insulation, motor parameters, acceleration time, and mechanical load. If it recurs after fixing these, the IGBT module may be damaged.
