Motor Overload
Allen-Bradley · PowerFlex 520-series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive
What does F007 mean?
An internal electronic overload trip has been activated, signifying that the motor has experienced sustained excessive current beyond its programmed overload limit. This condition indicates an excessive mechanical load or incorrect motor parameters, risking motor overheating and permanent damage.
Complete Troubleshooting Guide
- 1
Reduce the mechanical load on the motor to ensure the drive output current remains below the value set in parameter P033 [Motor OL Current].
- 2
Verify the A530 [Boost Select] setting is correct for the motor and application to prevent premature overload trips.
- 3
Check the motor's nameplate data against the drive's programmed motor parameters (e.g., P031 [Motor FLA]) for accuracy.
- 4
Inspect the driven equipment for any mechanical issues such as binding, worn bearings, or blockages that could increase motor load.
