Motor over-temperature

Vacon · NXS NXP AC Drive

What does 16 mean?

The frequency converter's internal motor temperature model has detected that the motor is overheating, usually due to being overloaded. This protection mechanism prevents thermal damage to the motor windings. Ignoring this fault will lead to severe motor degradation and potential failure.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Decrease the mechanical load on the motor to bring it within its operating limits.

  2. 2

    If no motor overload exists, verify and adjust the motor temperature model parameters within the drive settings to match the actual motor characteristics.
