What does 81 mean?
This fault occurs when the motor cannot be supplied with the correct amount of current during the pre-magnetizing time, particularly in hoist applications. This indicates an impedance mismatch or inadequate current capacity, preventing proper motor startup.
Common Causes
- Rated motor power is too small in relation to the rated inverter power.
- Motor cable cross-section is too small.
