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

  1. 1

    Clean the heat sink to ensure proper thermal dissipation.

  2. 2

    Lower the ambient temperature around the MOVIMOT unit.

  3. 3

    Ensure adequate ventilation and prevent heat build-up around the unit.

  4. 4

    Reduce the load on the drive.

  5. 5

    Reset the fault by switching off and then switching on the DC 24V supply voltage.

  6. 6

    Reset the error via the error reset function.
