44
Unit utilization (I²t) exceeded
SEW Eurodrive · MOVIDRIVE compact System
What does 44 mean?
The inverter's utilization, based on its I²t (current squared time) thermal model, has exceeded 125%, indicating a sustained overload condition. This fault leads to an immediate disconnection to protect the inverter's power section from thermal damage due to prolonged high currents.
Complete Troubleshooting Guide
- 1
Decrease the power output required from the drive by reducing the mechanical load or limiting the operating speed.
- 2
Extend acceleration and deceleration ramps to lessen peak current demands during dynamic operations.
- 3
If the suggested actions are not feasible for the application, consider using a larger inverter that is more appropriately sized for the sustained load.
