Motor Overload

What does F7 mean?

This fault indicates an excessive motor load condition, where the motor's operating current has exceeded the thermal overload limit set by parameter P033 [Motor OLCurrent] for a sustained period. This protects the motor from overheating and damage.

• Motor is drawing excessive current, indicating overload.
• Motor torque exceeding its rated capacity.
• Mechanical binding or excessive friction in the driven system.
• Motor current limit reached (P1-50).

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Reduce the mechanical load on the motor to bring its operating current within safe limits.

2. 2

   Verify parameter P033 [Motor OLCurrent] is correctly set to the motor's nameplate full load amperage (FLA) or the maximum allowable motor current, not exceeding DriveRated Amps * 2.
