F-01

Overcurrent

SEW Eurodrive · MCBSM

What does F-01 mean?

An overcurrent condition has occurred at the inverter's output, leading to an immediate switch-off with inhibit. Possible causes include a short circuit, inappropriate motor sizing, or switching the output stage while inhibited. This fault can damage the inverter's output stage if not resolved.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Identify and rectify any short circuits on the motor output or cabling.

  2. 2

    Ensure that the connected motor's current draw is within the inverter's rated capacity.

  3. 3

    Only switch the output stage when it is inhibited to prevent transient overcurrents.

  4. 4

    If the issue persists after checking external components, contact SEW Service as the inverter's output stage might be faulty.
