11
Thermal Overload of Output Stage / Internal Unit Error
SEW Eurodrive · [PDF] MOVIMOT® MM..D with AC Motor DT/DV / Operating Instruc
What does 11 mean?
This fault indicates that the temperature of the inverter's output stage has exceeded its permissible limit, or a general internal unit error has occurred. Persistent thermal overload can lead to premature failure of the inverter's power electronics.
Common Causes
- Accumulation of dirt or dust on the heat sink, impeding cooling.
- High ambient temperature around the MOVIMOT unit.
- Restricted airflow or heat build-up around the unit due to improper installation.
- Excessive load on the drive, causing the output stage to dissipate too much heat.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Clean the heat sink to ensure proper thermal dissipation.
- 2
Lower the ambient temperature around the MOVIMOT unit.
- 3
Ensure adequate ventilation and prevent heat build-up around the unit.
- 4
Reduce the load on the drive.
- 5
Reset the fault by switching off and then switching on the DC 24V supply voltage.
- 6
Reset the error via the error reset function.
