ULF

Process Underload Fault (Torque)

Schneider Electric · Altivar Machine ATV320 Variable Speed Drive

What does ULF mean?

A torque underload detected fault. This indicates that the motor is operating with significantly less load than expected, potentially pointing to a mechanical failure (e.g., broken belt, pump cavitation) or a material flow issue. While not immediately damaging, it signals an abnormal process condition.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Verify the underload threshold parameter in the drive configuration.

  2. 4

    Ensure the motor is correctly sized for the application, and the expected load is present.
