Motor overload

What does F013 mean?

The drive displays an F013 fault when the Motor thermal state (808) exceeds 118%. This indicates that the motor is operating beyond its safe thermal limits, risking damage to the motor windings.

• The motor's thermal state (808) has exceeded 118% of its rated thermal capacity.
• Excessive mechanical load on the motor, leading to higher than normal current draw.
• Insufficient cooling for the motor, such as blocked ventilation fins or a malfunctioning motor fan.
• Incorrect motor nameplate data or overload protection parameters configured in the drive.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Reduce the mechanical load on the motor to bring its operating current within safe limits.

2. 2

   Check the motor's cooling system for proper operation, clear any obstructions from cooling fins, and ensure adequate airflow around the motor.

3. 3

   Monitor the Motor thermal state (808) parameter in the Monitoring mode (MOn) to observe the motor's thermal condition.

4. 4

   Verify that all motor parameters in the drive (e.g., motor nominal current, motor overload curve) accurately match the motor's nameplate data.

5. 5

   Allow the motor to cool down before attempting to restart the drive.
