The FANUC SV0433 alarm indicates an inverter DC link voltage low condition. This alarm occurs when the DC voltage in the main circuit, also known as the DC bus voltage or DC link voltage, drops below the required level.
In FANUC servo systems, the servo amplifier or common power supply module depends on stable main circuit input power. If the main power voltage drops, the DC link wiring is loose, the magnetic contactor does not operate correctly, or the emergency stop circuit prevents the main power from being supplied, the CNC system may generate the SV0433 alarm.
This alarm may also appear together with other alarms, such as SV0364 or SP9051. In some cases, the common power supply may display alarm code 04. When multiple alarms appear together, the related power supply and emergency stop conditions should be checked as a system.

What Does FANUC SV0433 Alarm Mean?
SV0433: Inverter DC Link Voltage Low
The FANUC SV0433 alarm means that the voltage of the DC section of the main circuit has decreased. This DC section is commonly referred to as the DC link or DC bus.
The DC link voltage is generated from the main circuit input power. If the input power from L1, L2, and L3 is not normal, or if the main circuit is not properly connected due to a contactor, breaker, emergency stop, or wiring issue, the DC link voltage may fall and trigger SV0433.
Because this alarm is closely related to the servo power supply circuit, troubleshooting should focus on actual power voltage, main circuit connection, contactor operation, emergency stop control, and common power supply module condition.
Common Causes of FANUC SV0433 Alarm
The most common causes of FANUC SV0433 inverter DC link voltage low alarm include:
1. Main Circuit Input Voltage Is Too Low
The main circuit input voltage may be lower than the required voltage range.
Check whether the actual incoming power voltage meets the machine and servo power supply requirements. If the voltage is too low or unstable, the DC link voltage may drop and cause SV0433.
2. Main Circuit Voltage Fluctuation
Even if the voltage appears normal at one moment, voltage fluctuation may still cause the DC link voltage to drop during operation.
Check whether the L1, L2, and L3 main circuit voltage is stable and within the specified range during power-on and machine operation.
3. Emergency Stop Circuit Prevents Main Power Connection
SV0433 may occur if the emergency stop circuit is open and the main power circuit is not properly connected.
For example, the emergency stop state may prevent the magnetic contactor from closing, or an abnormal control circuit may cause the strong power circuit not to be supplied even when the machine appears powered on.
4. Air Breaker or Magnetic Contactor Abnormality
If the air breaker, magnetic contactor, or main power contact is abnormal, the main circuit may not receive proper power.
The contactor may fail to close, the contact points may be poor, or the contactor coil control circuit may be abnormal. Any of these issues may cause the DC link voltage to drop.
5. Loose DC Bus or DC Link Wiring
Loose or poor connection in the DC bus wiring can cause voltage drop or unstable DC link voltage.
The DC link wiring should be checked and re-tightened if necessary. Loose terminals or poor contact can cause SV0433, especially during vibration or machine operation.
6. Main Circuit Cable or Connector Problem
Loose cables, poor connector contact, damaged power cables, or incorrect wiring in the main circuit may cause unstable or insufficient voltage.
The main circuit cables and connectors related to L1, L2, and L3 should be checked carefully.
7. Related Alarm Not Resolved
SV0433 may follow other servo or spindle alarms, such as SV0364 or SP9051.
In this case, the root cause may not be SV0433 itself. Solve the related alarms first, and the SV0433 alarm may be cleared together.
8. Common Power Supply Module Failure
If the main circuit voltage, emergency stop circuit, contactor, wiring, and related alarms have been checked but SV0433 remains, the common power supply module may be faulty.
A faulty common power supply module may fail to maintain the correct DC link voltage and may need to be replaced.
How to Troubleshoot FANUC SV0433 Alarm
When troubleshooting the FANUC SV0433 alarm, the main point is to confirm why the main circuit DC link voltage has dropped.
You may need to check:
- Whether the actual main circuit voltage is below the required range
- Whether the L1, L2, and L3 input voltage is within specification
- Whether the main circuit voltage fluctuates during operation
- Whether the emergency stop circuit is open or abnormal
- Whether the strong power circuit is actually connected
- Whether the air breaker is working correctly
- Whether the magnetic contactor operates normally
- Whether the magnetic contactor contacts are in good condition
- Whether the contactor coil control circuit is normal
- Whether the emergency stop control circuit is normal
- Whether the main circuit cables and connectors are loose
- Whether the DC bus or DC link wiring is firmly connected
- Whether SV0433 appears together with SV0364, SP9051, or common power supply alarm 04
- Whether the related alarms need to be solved first
- Whether the common power supply module is faulty
Because SV0433 is related to main circuit power and DC link voltage, this alarm should be checked carefully before replacing hardware. Many cases are caused by input power, contactor, emergency stop, or wiring issues rather than the common power supply module itself.
Recommended Solution
The correct solution for FANUC SV0433 alarm depends on whether the voltage drop is caused by the main input power, wiring, emergency stop circuit, contactor circuit, related alarms, or common power supply module failure.
1. Measure the Actual Main Circuit Voltage
First, measure whether the actual main circuit voltage is lower than the required voltage range.
Check the L1, L2, and L3 input power voltage and confirm whether it meets the servo system requirement. Also check whether the voltage fluctuates during machine operation.
2. Check Whether Strong Power Is Actually Connected
Confirm whether the strong power circuit is actually connected.
If the machine is in emergency stop state, or if an air breaker, contactor, or related control circuit is abnormal, the main power circuit may not be connected even though the control power is on.
3. Check the Emergency Stop Circuit
Check whether the emergency stop circuit is open or abnormal.
If the emergency stop circuit prevents the magnetic contactor from closing, the main circuit power cannot be supplied correctly, and the DC link voltage may drop or remain too low.
4. Check the Magnetic Contactor and Coil Control Circuit
Check whether the main circuit magnetic contactor works normally.
Confirm whether the contactor closes correctly, whether the contact points are good, and whether the coil control circuit is normal. Poor contactor operation may cause insufficient main circuit voltage and SV0433.
5. Check Main Circuit Cables and Connectors
Check the main circuit cables and connectors related to L1, L2, and L3.
Loose terminals, poor contact, damaged cables, or incorrect wiring may cause voltage drop. Tighten and correct the wiring if needed.
6. Check DC Bus and DC Link Wiring
Check whether the DC bus or DC link wiring is firmly connected.
If the DC link wiring is loose or has poor contact, the DC bus voltage may become unstable or low. Re-tighten and confirm the wiring condition.
7. Solve Related Alarms First
If SV0433 appears together with other alarms such as SV0364, SP9051, or common power supply alarm 04, troubleshoot those alarms together.
In some cases, SV0433 may be a following alarm. After the original alarm is solved, the DC link voltage low alarm may disappear.
8. Replace the Common Power Supply Module If Necessary
If the input voltage, emergency stop circuit, contactor, cables, DC bus wiring, and related alarms have all been checked and the problem still cannot be solved, the common power supply module may be faulty.
In this case, replace the common power supply module.
