F37005HF Damping Module: I2t overload

What it means

F37005 reports that the filter capacitor of the HF Damping Module was overloaded in thermal terms. The drive tracks the capacitor load with an I2t model, and the fault is raised when the utilization value in r5173 reaches 100 %. The same load figure is stored as the fault value in r0949, to be read as a decimal number, where 100 % corresponds to 16384. As underlying reasons the manual names an excessively excited filter resonance frequency and a defective HF Choke Module; the checks below follow from them.

Why it appears

  • The filter capacitor of the HF Damping Module was overloaded — its I2t utilization in r5173 has climbed to 100 %.
  • The filter resonance frequency was excessively excited.
  • The HF Choke Module (reactor module) is defective.

What to check

  1. Reduce the motor power when operating in the proximity of the fault-generating frequency.
  2. Do not let the system remain in a steady-state condition near the fault-generating frequency.
  3. Check the HF Choke Module and replace it if required.

Reading the message value

  • r0949 holds the I2t load and is to be interpreted as a decimal number.
  • Scaling: 100 % = 16384.

Parameters the manual names

  • r5173 (CO: HF Damping Module I2t overload / HF DM overl I2t) — the live I2t utilization of the module; it reaches 100 % exactly when F37005 trips, so it is the value to observe near the fault-generating frequency.
  • r0949 (fault value) — the value stored with F37005; read it as a decimal number, where 16384 stands for 100 % I2t.

Acknowledging and restarting

When F37005 trips, the drive coasts down and must be acknowledged before it will start again. Because the code reports a thermal overload, the checks above come first; r5173 shows at any time how heavily the filter capacitor is currently loaded.

The same on every family

Every manual that describes F37005 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

Questions technicians ask

What does fault F37005 mean on a SINAMICS S120 or S150?

It reports an I2t overload of the filter capacitor in the HF Damping Module: the utilization in r5173 has reached 100 %.

How do I clear F37005?

Reduce the motor power near the fault-generating frequency, avoid a steady-state operating condition at that frequency, and check the HF Choke Module, replacing it if required. Once the cause is removed, the fault is acknowledged and the drive can start again.

What does the fault value of F37005 tell me?

r0949 contains the I2t load of the filter capacitor; interpreted as a decimal number, 16384 corresponds to 100 %.
