Lenze · i550 Protec Drive
During motor operation, if the motor load current falls below the threshold defined in parameter 0x4006:001 (P710.01) for the duration specified in parameter 0x4006:002 (P710.02), load loss protection is triggered. This indicates an unexpected drop in mechanical load.
Click steps to track your progress.
1. Inspect the mechanical coupling between the motor shaft and the driven equipment for any signs of damage, detachment, or excessive play.
2. Verify the integrity of all three motor phases by measuring current at motor terminals (T1, T2, T3) with a clamp-on ammeter and voltage with a multimeter, ensuring balance.
3. Check relevant process variables (e.g., liquid level sensors, flow meters, damper position feedback) to confirm the actual load status of the driven equipment.
4. Review and adjust drive parameters P710.01 (Load loss threshold) and P710.02 (Load loss delay time) to accurately reflect the application's minimum expected operating current.
5. Compare the drive's displayed output current (e.g., P3-01) with a measurement from a calibrated external clamp meter to verify the drive's internal current measurement accuracy.
6. Perform a controlled test run at a reduced speed and load (if safe) while observing the drive's output current and motor behavior to confirm load engagement.
