d5 De-rate: drive AC input over-current
What the control is telling you
Capacity reduced to limit input current. Manual lists only the meaning (A1000BA board); steps are general checks drawn from other sections of the guide.
Applies to: Trane 5TTR7 multi-speed AC (5TTR7024A-060A)
Likely causes
- Supply voltage out of range
- Voltage drop from loose or undersized wiring
- Drive fault
Test and repair steps
- Warning: After power off, wait 2 minutes - the inverter can hold 400 VDC. Confirm under 42 VDC at the +DC/-DC test points before touching the board.
- Measure incoming line voltage under load; compare with the nameplate range.
- Check the disconnect, breaker and wire size for voltage drop.
- Tighten all line connections at the drive.
