What it means
F30013 tells you that a temperature sensor in the power unit is short-circuited. On the G120, G120XA, G130 and G150 the manual names the heat sink temperature sensor specifically; the S120 and S150 wording leaves it as a temperature sensor in the power unit in general. The fault value stored with the code identifies the sensor position that reported the short-circuit, so you can tell the repair contact exactly which measuring point is involved.
Why it appears
- A temperature sensor in the power unit is short-circuited — on the G120, G120XA, G130 and G150 this is the heat sink temperature sensor.
What to check
- Read the fault value in r0949 and note which bit is set: it names the sensor position — module slot (electronics slot), air intake, one of the inverters or one of the rectifiers, and on the S120 and S150 also the capacitor air discharge or the liquid intake.
- Contact the manufacturer about the power unit; on the S120 and S150 the manual directs you to Technical Support instead.
Reading the message value
The drive stores the fault value in r0949. The manual says to interpret it hexadecimal on the G120, G120XA, G130 and G150, and binary on the S120 and S150.
- Bit 0: Module slot (electronics slot)
- Bit 1: Air intake
- Bits 2 to 7: Inverter 1 to Inverter 6
- Bits 8 and 9: Rectifier 1 and Rectifier 2
- Only on the S120 and S150: Bit 14 (Capacitor air discharge) and Bit 15 (Liquid intake)
Parameters the manual names
- r0949 — fault value: read it to see which sensor position raised F30013, using the bit list above.
Acknowledging and restarting
Acknowledge the fault immediately; the drive will not restart until it has been acknowledged. Because the short-circuit is in the power unit hardware, the remedy is the repair contact above rather than any reset at the converter.
What differs between the drive families
Straight from the manuals' own fields — F30013 is not described identically everywhere.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F30013 mean?
A temperature sensor in the power unit is short-circuited. On the G120, G120XA, G130 and G150 the manual names the heat sink temperature sensor; on the S120 and S150 it is worded as a power unit temperature sensor in general.
How do I reset fault F30013?
Acknowledge it immediately — the drive will not restart before that. There is no operator repair step: the manual says to contact the manufacturer, or Technical Support on the S120 and S150.
Which sensor triggered F30013?
Read the fault value in r0949: bit 0 is the module slot (electronics slot), bit 1 the air intake, bits 2 to 7 Inverter 1 to 6 and bits 8 and 9 Rectifier 1 and 2. On the S120 and S150, bit 14 is the capacitor air discharge and bit 15 the liquid intake.
