Current limit exceeded

What does 59 mean?

The motor current has exceeded the value set in parameter 4-18 (Current Limit). This indicates that the motor is drawing excessive current, potentially due to overload, incorrect motor data, or a mechanical issue, which could lead to motor or drive overheating and damage if not addressed.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

1. 3

   If safe and necessary for the application, increase the current limit in parameter 4-18, but ensure the system can operate safely at this higher limit.

2. 4

   Investigate for short circuits or ground faults in the motor or cabling.
