E.SOT

Motor Step Out

Mitsubishi · FR-E800 Variable Frequency Drive

What does E.SOT mean?

The inverter output is shut off when the motor loses synchronization during operation, a condition specifically monitored under PM sensorless vector control. This fault indicates a loss of control over the motor's rotor position, leading to erratic operation.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Increase the acceleration time parameter to allow for smoother motor starts.

  2. 2

    Reduce the mechanical load on the PM motor.

  3. 3

    If restarting during coasting, set Pr.57 (Restart coasting time) to a value other than '9999' and enable automatic restart after instantaneous power failure.

  4. 4

    Verify the physical connections of the IPM motor.

  5. 5

    Perform offline auto tuning for the PM motor to correctly identify its characteristics.
