Motor Timed Overload Trip (Adv. Code 0)

What does 20 mean?

This fault signifies that the motor connected to the drive has experienced an overload condition exceeding the customer-defined overload settings. Sustained operation above the motor's rated current can lead to winding damage, reduced motor lifespan, or premature motor failure. The drive tripped to protect the motor.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

1. 3

   Confirm that the Timed Overload (TOL) characteristic (e.g., thermal model) is appropriately configured for the specific motor and application (e.g., fan-cooled vs. non-cooled).

2. 4

   If the motor is hot, allow it to cool down before restarting. Consider increasing acceleration/deceleration times if shock loads are present.
