Overload Max Alarm Trip

What does Max Alarm mean?

This fault indicates that the motor load has exceeded a predefined maximum threshold, typically signaling an overload condition. This can occur if a conveyor jams, a pump's discharge pressure is too high, or a process experiences excessive friction. It protects the driven equipment and motor from damage caused by excessive load. Continuous overload risks motor and VSD damage, leading to component failure and production downtime.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

1. 3

   Inspect the process to identify why the load has increased beyond normal operating limits.

2. 4

   Ensure the motor is adequately sized for the application's maximum expected load and consider re-sizing if chronic overloads occur.
