Overcurrent

Vacon · NXS NXP Drive

What does 1 mean?

The drive has detected an excessively high current (>4*IH) flowing in the motor cable, which can be caused by a sudden heavy load increase, a short circuit in the motor cables, or an incorrectly sized motor. This condition can lead to severe damage to the motor, cables, or the drive's internal power components if not promptly addressed.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Check the motor's loading conditions and reduce if operating under heavy overload.

  2. 2

    Inspect all motor cables and connections for signs of damage or short circuits.

  3. 3

    Verify that the motor type and size are correctly matched to the drive's specifications.

  4. 4

    Perform an identification run of the motor to optimize parameters.
