What does 81 mean?

The motor could not be supplied with the correct amount of current during its pre-magnetizing time, preventing a proper start-up sequence. This often points to a mismatch between inverter and motor ratings or issues with cabling.

Common Causes

  • Rated motor power is too small compared to the rated inverter power
