F06850Infeed: Short-circuit prevailing for too long

What it means

F06850 is the fault the manual calls Infeed: Short-circuit prevailing for too long. The infeed raises it when a short-circuit lasts longer than the maximum permissible duration configured in p5458[1] and p5528[1] — the short-circuit could not be cleared within this time. The infeed then trips with OFF2 and cannot run again until the fault has been acknowledged.

Why it appears

  • The maximum permissible duration for the short-circuit, set in p5458[1] and p5528[1], has been exceeded.
  • The short-circuit could not be cleared within this time.

What to check

  1. Check the minimum time parameter setting in p5458[1] and p5528[1].
  2. Check the line supply and the fuses.

Parameters the manual names

  • p5458[1] — Current hysteresis controller minimum time operating state: one of the two times that define the maximum permissible short-circuit duration; check this setting when F06850 occurs.
  • p5528[1] — Dynamic grid control operating state times: the second time that limits how long the short-circuit may prevail; check it together with p5458[1].
  • p5509 — Dynamic grid support scaling values: the manual cross-references this parameter from the cause of this fault.

Acknowledging and restarting

Remove the cause first: verify the minimum time settings in p5458[1] and p5528[1], and check the line supply and its fuses. Then acknowledge the fault immediately — the drive expects acknowledgment with POWER ON. Because the infeed tripped with OFF2, it stays shut down until the acknowledgment is made and can then be restarted.

Questions technicians ask

What does F06850 mean on a SINAMICS infeed?

It means the short-circuit prevailed for too long: the maximum permissible duration set in p5458[1] and p5528[1] was exceeded and the short-circuit could not be cleared within this time.

Which parameters define the permitted short-circuit time for F06850?

p5458[1] (current hysteresis controller minimum time operating state) and p5528[1] (dynamic grid control operating state times) together define the maximum permissible duration.

How do I clear and reset F06850?

Check the settings of p5458[1] and p5528[1] and check the line supply and fuses, then acknowledge the fault immediately with POWER ON before restarting.
