Motor overload

What does E225 mean?

The drive reduces the maximum possible motor current to protect the motor from destruction. This warning is issued when the motor peak current (S-0-0109) is reduced due to current limitation. If a current greater than 2.2 times the motor current at standstill (S-0-0111) flows, the current reduction begins. With 4-fold motor current at standstill, reduction starts after 400 ms; with 5-fold, it starts earlier; with 3-fold, later. This reduction also affects P-0-4045 (Active permanent current).

• Excessive mechanical load on the motor, causing it to draw high current.
• Incorrect motor parameters (e.g., S-0-0111, S-0-0109, P-0-4045) not matching the connected motor or application requirements in the Indramat DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive controller.
• Motor or driven machinery binding or experiencing high friction.
• Drive controller current limits set too low for the application's peak demands.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Inspect the mechanical system driven by the motor for any binding, blockage, or excessive friction that could cause high current draw.

2. 2

   Verify the motor parameters S-0-0111 (Motor current at standstill) and S-0-0109 (Motor peak current) in the Indramat DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive controller against the motor nameplate data and application requirements.

3. 3

   Monitor the motor's actual current draw during operation and compare it against its nominal and peak ratings to confirm an overload condition.

4. 4

   Adjust process parameters or mechanical settings to reduce the load on the motor if it is consistently operating at or near its current limits.

5. 5

   Evaluate the P-0-4045 (Active permanent current) parameter setting to ensure it is appropriate for the application.
