26051
Ballast circuit overload, KPP/KSP (axis)
Kuka · KR C4 Controller
What does 26051 mean?
This fault occurs when the braking energy dissipated by the ballast circuit is permanently too high. This indicates an excessive amount of regenerative energy, potentially causing the ballast resistor to overheat and fail if not addressed.
Common Causes
- High inertia loads being braked too frequently or aggressively
- Malfunction or damage to the ballast resistor
- Incorrect or damaged cabling between the KPP and the ballast resistor
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Reduce the frequency or intensity of braking for heavy loads in the program.
- 2
Inspect the ballast resistor for physical damage or open circuit.
- 3
Check the cabling between the KPP and the ballast resistor for continuity and proper connection.
- 4
Reinitialize the drive bus by cycling Power Off / Power On.
- 5
Check the KPP module for any status indicators.
