OLF
MOTOR OVERLOAD
Schindler · Altivar 312 Drive
What does OLF mean?
This fault is triggered by excessive motor current, indicating the motor is drawing more current than its thermal protection limits. An incorrect [Cold stator resist.] (rSC) parameter value can also lead to this fault. Continued operation under overload conditions can damage the motor.
Common Causes
- Excessive motor current due to a high mechanical load on the motor.
- Incorrect value set for the [Cold stator resist.] (rSC) parameter.
- Incorrect setting for the motor thermal protection parameter [Mot. therm. current] (ItH).
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Check the mechanical load on the motor and reduce it if it is excessive.
- 2
Verify the setting of parameter [Mot. therm. current] (ItH) on page 33 and ensure it matches the motor's rated thermal current.
- 3
Remeasure the [Cold stator resist.] (rSC) value and update the parameter on page 42.
- 4
Allow the drive to cool down before attempting to restart, if the fault was due to overheating.
