F01

Overcurrent

SEW Eurodrive · MOVIDRIVE compact System

What does F01 mean?

The inverter has detected that the output current exceeded 185% of the rated output current for more than 60 milliseconds. This indicates a significant overload on the motor or a short circuit in the output wiring. This will cause an immediate switch-off of the inverter to prevent damage to the motor or the drive.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Inspect motor cables and connections for short circuits, phase-to-ground faults, or damage.

  2. 4

    Measure the motor's current draw under normal operating conditions to ensure it's within rated limits and the inverter's capacity.
