Motor Overtemperature

Vacon · 100 FLOW Application

What does 16 mean?

The motor has exceeded its safe operating temperature, often indicating that the load applied to the motor is too heavy for its current capabilities. If the load is not excessive, the motor's thermal protection parameters in the drive may be incorrectly configured. Sustained motor overtemperature can degrade winding insulation, leading to premature motor failure.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Reduce the mechanical load on the motor.

  2. 2

    If the load is appropriate, review and adjust the motor thermal protection parameters in parameter group 3.9 Protections.
