Current limit active

What does E8041 mean?

The motor current has reached its configured limit, indicating that the drive is trying to deliver maximum current but may not be able to achieve the commanded torque or speed due to load conditions.

• Motor running under excessive mechanical load, causing it to reach its current limit.
• Current limit parameter set too low for the application requirements.
• Mechanical binding or obstruction in the system, increasing required current.
• Drive parameter for current limit incorrectly set.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify the mechanical load on the motor and ensure it is within the continuous current capability of the motor and drive.

2. 2

   Check the drive's current limit parameter and adjust if necessary, ensuring it is appropriate for the application.

3. 3

   Inspect the mechanical system for any binding, misalignment, or excessive friction that could increase the required current.

4. 4

   Monitor the actual motor current and torque values during operation to understand the load conditions.
