Hello, I am encountering difficulties while trying to install a new ACS355-03E-44A0-4 drive, as it persists in showing Fault code F00018 even without the load connected. The faults displayed by the drive are F0018 and F0001, with the persistent fault being F0018 even upon powering it on. Regards, Meya. If you are facing issues with fault codes such as F0018 and F0001 on your ACS355-03E-44A0-4 drive, we can help troubleshoot and resolve the problem. Contact us for assistance with your drive installation.
Error Code 0018: Thermistor Failure The temperature of the drive has exceeded the specified operating level of the thermistor. It is essential to ensure that the ambient temperature is within the acceptable range to avoid this issue. This error indicates an internal fault in the drive, possibly due to a malfunctioning thermistor used for internal temperature measurements. Consider replacing the drive to resolve this issue. Error Code 0001: Overcurrent Issue This error points to an internal fault within the drive. Even without the motor connected, the drive triggers an overcurrent fault after receiving the start command (consider using scalar control as a workaround). To address this problem, replacing the drive may be necessary. These issues are detailed in the manual and suggest a potential fault in the drive system.
In a forum post, user BryanG mentioned the following error codes: 0018 THERM FAIL (5210) 0306 bit 1 and 0001 OVERCURRENT (2310) 0305 bit 0. These codes indicate issues with the drive's temperature and overcurrent faults. The drive's thermistor may be open or short-circuited, causing the temperature to exceed the operating level. On the other hand, an internal fault may lead to overcurrent errors even when the motor is not connected. To resolve these issues, consider replacing the drives. Can anyone provide insights into the potential causes of these problems and offer suggestions for troubleshooting the new drives experiencing the same issues? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Are you able to assist me in identifying the potential causes of the issues affecting the drives? This is a query best directed to ABB technical support. You can find their contact information on the Africa contact page here: https://new.abb.com/africa/about/contact. It seems that the ACS355 may not have a Factory Reset function, but you can attempt to resolve the issue by loading a standard Macro. The process will vary depending on your control panel. For detailed instructions, it is recommended to refer to the manual which can be downloaded here: https://search-ext.abb.com/library/Download.aspx?DocumentID=3AUA0000066143&LanguageCode=en&DocumentPartId=1&Action=Launch.
Hi Meya, sorry to hear about the trouble you're having. From my experience, the F0018 code relates to I2t (motor thermal) protection warning, meaning that your drive is detecting an overload, even without a load connected. F0001, on the other hand, indicates an overcurrent fault. It seems like there could be an issue with your drive's settings or it could be an internal fault within the drive itself. I suggest checking the motor data in your drive to make sure it matches the motor's nameplate. If the issue persists, it may be best to consult with the drive's manufacturer or a professional.
Hi Meya, these codes indicate an over current and an over voltage fault, respectively. It is possible that there's an issue with the grounding or the motor cables, or perhaps the parameters of the drive need reconfiguring. I'd suggest first checking your wiring setup for any errors or faults, and then resetting the drive parameters to their factory default, just to rule out any software issues. If the problem persists, professional assistance or even a hardware replacement might be necessary.

Answer: - Fault code F0018 indicates an overcurrent fault, while F0001 typically points to a motor overload fault.
Answer: - The ACS355-03E-44A0-4 drive showing fault code F0018 without a load connected could be due to issues with the drive itself, such as internal faults or misconfigurations.
Answer: - Troubleshooting steps may involve checking the wiring connections, motor setup, drive parameters, and conducting tests to diagnose the specific cause of the faults. It's advisable to seek professional assistance for a thorough resolution.
