Motor Underload

Vacon · 100 FLOW Application

What does 17 mean?

The motor is operating with insufficient load, meaning the actual load is below the expected or minimum threshold. This can occur if the mechanical load is unexpectedly disconnected or too light, or if drive parameters related to load monitoring are incorrectly set. While less critical than overload, persistent underload can indicate a process issue or inefficiency.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Verify the mechanical load connected to the motor and ensure it is sufficient for the application.

  2. 2

    Check and adjust the drive's load-related parameters as necessary.

  3. 3

    Inspect the du/dt and sinus filters for proper function, as anomalies here might affect current measurement.
