A.40Alarm · Power section
Yaskawa SGDH A.40: Overvoltage
What A.40 means
The main circuit DC voltage went too high.
Symptoms
Alarm during deceleration or with a high supply voltage.
Is it repairable?
Often settings or resistor related; repairable when the voltage sensing has failed.
Common causes
- Deceleration too fast for the load
- Regenerative resistor too small or failed
- Supply voltage too high
Safe checks
- 1Note whether the alarm happens while braking
- 2Check the regenerative resistor
- 3Measure the supply voltage
Drives hold dangerous voltage after power-off. Checks should only be done by qualified personnel, with power isolated and the DC link discharged.
