Stall prevention STP
Mitsubishi Electric · Mitsubishi FR-E800 Variable Frequency Drive
What does E.OLT mean?
The inverter output is shut off if stall prevention operation causes the output frequency to drop to 0.5 Hz for 3 seconds, or if torque limit operation causes frequency to drop to Pr.865 and output torque exceeds Pr.874 for 3 seconds in speed control. This protective fault indicates severe motor overload or an issue with stall prevention settings.
Common Causes
- Excessive mechanical load causing the motor to operate in a stalled condition or at very low speeds.
- Motor is undersized for the application, leading to continuous stall prevention activation.
- Pr.22 (Stall prevention operation level) or Pr.865 (Stall prevention frequency lower limit) are set too aggressively for transient loads.
- Mechanical binding or obstruction in the driven equipment preventing free rotation.
- Insufficient motor torque boost (e.g., Pr.0, Pr.18) at low frequencies, leading to poor motor performance and stall.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Monitor motor current (e.g., Pr.205 Output current) and torque output (if available) during operation to confirm actual load.
- 2
Inspect the mechanical system for any binding, friction, or obstruction that could be overloading the motor.
- 3
Increase Pr.22 (Stall prevention operation level) slightly or extend the time delay for stall detection if transient overloads are common.
- 4
Verify motor sizing against the application's maximum and continuous load requirements, potentially recommending a larger motor.
- 5
Adjust Pr.865 (Stall prevention frequency lower limit) to a slightly lower value if the application legitimately operates below 0.5 Hz under specific conditions.
