What does an OBF fault mean on an ATV12 drive?

Resolution:
The OBF (Over Braking Fault) occurs when the drive detects excessive braking energy, typically caused by rapid deceleration or high load inertia.

Possible causes are:

• Deceleration time is too short
• High inertia load (motor or driven machine)
• Input line voltage too high
• Voltage spikes or surges in the power supply

To mitigate the issues:

• Increase the deceleration time (DEC) to reduce braking stress
• Install a braking resistor or braking module if required
• Verify the line supply voltage is within limits- Must not exceed +20% of the rated voltage during operation
• Check for voltage fluctuations, spikes, or unstable power conditions
