Inverter overload

What does 9 mean?

The frequency converter has been operating at more than 100% overload for an excessive period and is about to trip. A warning is issued at 98% overload, and a trip (alarm) occurs at 100%. The frequency converter cannot be reset until the internal thermal counter drops below 90%.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Reduce the mechanical load on the motor and driven equipment.

  2. 2

    Inspect the motor and mechanical system for any binding, excessive friction, or blockages that could increase load.

  3. 3

    Verify that the motor parameters (e.g., nominal current, voltage, frequency) programmed in the drive match the motor's nameplate data.

  4. 4

    Consider upsizing the drive or motor if the application consistently requires more power than current components provide.
