6.4 Fault Detection
Motor has overheated
LED Operator Display
Cause
Motor has overheated.
LED Operator Display
Cause
Load is too heavy.
Cycle times are too short during acceleration
and deceleration.
• Drive overloaded at low speeds.
• Overload may occur at low speeds when
using a general-purpose motor, even if
operating within the rated current
limitation.
Although a special type of motor is being
used, the motor protection selection is set for
a general-purpose motor (L1-01 = 1).
Voltage is too high for the V/f characteristics.
The wrong motor-rated current is set to
E2-01.
The motor base frequency for the drive input
power is set too low.
Multiple motors are running off the same
drive.
The electrical thermal protection
characteristics and motor overload
characteristics do not match.
The electrical thermal relay is operating at
the wrong level.
Motor overheated by overexcitation
operation.

• Check the size of the load, the accel/decel times and the cycle times.
• Decrease the load.
• Increase the acceleration and deceleration times (C1-01 through C1-08).
• Adjust the preset V/f pattern (E1-04 through E1-10). This will mainly involve reducing E1-08 and
E1-10.
• Be careful not to lower E1-08 and E1-10 excessively, as this reduces load tolerance at low speeds.
• Check the motor-rated current.
• Enter the motor-rated current as indicated on the motor nameplate (E2-01).
• Ensure the motor cooling system is operating normally.
• Repair or replace the motor cooling system.
Motor Overheat Fault (PTC Input)
oH4
• The motor overheat signal to analog input terminal A1 or A2 exceeded the fault detection level.
• Detection requires that multi-function analog input H3-02 or H3-10 = "E".
• Check the size of the load, the accel/decel times and the cycle times.
• Decrease the load.
• Increase the acceleration and deceleration times (C1-01 through C1-08).
• Adjust the preset V/f pattern (E1-04 through E1-10). This will mainly involve reducing E1-08 and
E1-10. Be careful not to lower E1-08 and E1-10 excessively because this reduces load tolerance at
low speeds
• Check the motor-rated current.
• Enter the motor-rated current as indicated on the motor nameplate (E2-01).
• Ensure the motor cooling system is operating normally.
• Repair or replace the motor cooling system.
Motor Overload
The electrothermal sensor tripped overload protection.
oL1
Note: The U4-16 value must be less than 100 before oL1 can be reset.
Reduce the load.
Increase the acceleration and deceleration times (C1-01 through C1-08).
• Reduce the load.
• Increase the speed.
• If the drive is supposed to operate at low speeds, either increase the motor capacity or use a motor
specifically designed to operate with the drive.
Set L1-01 = "2".
• Adjust the user set V/f patterns (E1-04 through E1-10). Parameters E1-08 and E1-10 may need to
be reduced.
• If E1-08 and E1-10 are set too high, there may be very little load tolerance at low speed.
• Check the motor-rated current.
• Enter the value written on the motor nameplate to parameter E2-01.
• Check the rated frequency indicated on the motor nameplate.
• Enter the rated frequency to E1-06 (Base Frequency).
Disable the Motor Protection function (L1-01 = "0") and install a thermal relay to each motor.
• Check the motor characteristics.
• Correct the value set to L1-01 (Motor Protection Function).
• Install an external thermal relay.
• Check the current rating listed on the motor nameplate.
• Check the value set for the motor-rated current (E2-01).
• Overexcitation increases the motor losses and the motor temperature. If applied too long, motor
damage can occur. Prevent excessive overexcitation operation or apply proper cooling to the motor
• Reduce the excitation deceleration gain (n3-13).
• Set L3-04 (Stall Prevention during Deceleration) to a value other than 4.
