26051

Ballast circuit overload, KPP/KSP (axis)

Kuka · KR C4 extended

What does 26051 mean?

The ballast circuit is experiencing a permanent overload, indicating that the braking energy being generated is consistently too high for the connected ballast resistor. This can lead to overheating and damage to the brake resistor and drive.

Common Causes

  • Heavy loads are being braked too frequently.
  • Ballast resistor fault or incorrect sizing.
  • Cabling between KPP and ballast resistor is damaged or improperly connected.

  1. 1

    Reduce the frequency of braking heavy loads in the robot program.

  2. 2

    Inspect the ballast resistor for damage or overheating and verify correct sizing.

  3. 3

    Check cabling between the KPP and the ballast resistor for damage and correct connections.

  4. 4

    Reinitialize the drive bus: Power Off / Power On.

  5. 5

    Check the KPP module.
