Undertorque Detection 1
Yaskawa · P1000 AC Drive
What does UL3 mean?
The drive detected that the motor torque has fallen below a preset undertorque threshold. This can indicate a broken shaft, loss of load, or belt slippage, suggesting a mechanical failure.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Inspect the mechanical load and power transmission components (e.g., belts, couplings, gears, shafts) for signs of damage, wear, or slippage.
- 2
Verify the undertorque detection threshold parameter (e.g., L8-0x) in the Yaskawa P1000 drive is set appropriately for the application's operating conditions.
- 3
Verify the motor's nameplate data (e.g., Pn-002, Pn-003, Pn-004, Pn-005) is accurately programmed into the Yaskawa P1000 drive.
- 4
Inspect the motor and motor cables for any visible damage, loose connections, or signs of overheating.
