The document describes the fan control strategy and troubleshooting steps for ATV61/71 variable frequency drives. The fan control strategy depends on the frame size of the drive. For smaller frames, the fan runs when the drive thermal is at least 70% and turns off below 60%. For larger frames, the fan also runs for a period of time after the run command is removed. Troubleshooting involves checking that the fan is running when expected based on drive thermal state, and performing checks of fan cable connections, obstructions, voltages, and relay functioning depending on the frame size.

2, 3, 4, 5a, 5b The fan runs when drive thermal is greater than or equal to 70% and turns off when drive thermal is less than 60% 6, 7a, 7b, 8 The fans runs when the run command is given or when the drive thermal is greater than or equal to 70% and turns off when the drive thermal is less than 60% and runs for 1 minute after the run command is removed. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 The fans runs when the run command is given or when the drive thermal is greater than or equal to 70% and turns off when the drive thermal is less than 60% and runs for 10 minutes after the run command is removed.
The drive thermal state (THD) value comes from a sensor located on the heat sink. The fault appears when THD = 118% and resets at 60%. When THD is at 118% it means 100°C on the heat sink.
ATV61/71 Fan Troubleshooting
Is the heat sink fan running? What is the drive thermal state? 1. For size 2 to 5b a. Check the fan cable connection. b. Check fan for obstruction. c. Check voltage on fan connector. 2. For the HHP VFD 125 HP and above a. Are the fuses on the fan control board blown? b. What is the voltage on X1 (Line voltage phase to phase) c. What voltage is measured on X3 pin 3, 7 and 9 when drive thermal state is above 70 % or a run command is active? (Should be line voltage phase to phase, when fan is supposed to be running) d. Do the relays chatter on the fan control board? (If yes, then the drive is not sensing voltage on control card.) e. The voltage on X2 between pin 1 and 3 should be 15vdc. Pin 3 is the command to run.
