Motor overtemperature

Vacon · NXS NXP Drive

What does 16 mean?

The drive's internal motor temperature model or an external sensor indicates that the motor is operating at an excessively high temperature, primarily due to an overly heavy load. Prolonged motor overtemperature will degrade the motor winding insulation, leading to premature motor failure and increased energy consumption.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Reduce the mechanical load on the motor to bring it within its rated capacity.

  2. 2

    If there is no apparent motor overload, verify that the drive's motor temperature model parameters (e.g., motor thermal time constant) are correctly configured.

  3. 3

    Check for any external motor cooling issues or obstructions if applicable.
