Siemens SINAMICS G120 — F30001 Overcurrent

A fault raised when the power unit detects overcurrent. A motor cable short, too-fast ramp or wrong motor parameters can trigger it.

Updated: 2026-07-04

Symptoms

  • F30001 at start or acceleration
  • Immediate with motor connected, none without
  • Frequent trips in high-dynamic applications

Probable Causes

  • Short / ground fault in motor cable
  • Too-short ramp time (p1120)
  • Motor identification (p1900) not run / wrong motor data
  • Power unit (IGBT) failure

Checkpoints

  • Measure motor cable and winding insulation
  • Increase ramp time (p1120)
  • Verify motor parameters and run p1900 identification
  • No-motor test: if it still trips, suspect the power unit

Solution

If F30001 recurs, run motor identification (p1900) first; a wrong motor model is the most commonly overlooked cause.

If the fault persists after cable and parameters are verified, the Power Module goes to lab analysis.
