Motor Overload

What does OC6 mean?

The connected motor is thermally overloaded, likely due to impermissible continuous current, frequent, or excessively long acceleration processes. The drive's internal motor protection model has detected that the motor's temperature limits are being exceeded. Sustained motor overload can cause insulation breakdown and permanent damage to the motor.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

1. 1

   Verify that the drive and motor selection are appropriate for the application's continuous load and duty cycle.

2. 2

   Review and adjust the motor thermal protection settings under parameter C120 to accurately reflect the motor's thermal characteristics.

3. 3

   Reduce the mechanical load on the motor, or adjust acceleration/deceleration ramps to decrease current peaks if applicable.
