Motor Overload

What does Motor Overload mean?

The motor is experiencing a load that exceeds its rated capacity, especially when operating at low speeds with heavy loads. This can also result from excessively short acceleration/deceleration cycles or an incorrect motor rated current setting in the drive. Prolonged motor overload leads to winding overheating and potential damage to the motor insulation.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

1. 3

   Review and adjust the drive's acceleration and deceleration times to prevent excessive motor stress during transient periods.

2. 4

   Verify and correct the motor rated current setting in the drive parameters (E2-01) to accurately match the motor nameplate data.
