OH3

Motor overtemperature (+150°C)

Lenze · 9300 Series

What does OH3 mean?

The motor temperature, detected via resolver or incremental encoder, has exceeded +150°C. This signifies severe thermal overload due to impermissible continuous current or frequent/prolonged acceleration processes. A missing PTC/temperature contact can also prevent proper monitoring.

Common Causes

  • Motor temperature sensor reading exceeds +150°C, indicating severe overheating.
  • Motor winding insulation is at risk of damage due to extreme temperature.
  • Sustained operation under very high load conditions or stalled state.
  • Failure of motor cooling system (fan, airflow).

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check drive dimensioning to ensure the motor is not continuously overloaded.

  2. 2

    Correct wiring if no PTC/temperature contact is connected to enable proper temperature sensing.

  3. 3

    Switch off monitoring by setting C0583 = 3.
