      If the fault occurs on drive enable, inspect the motor and its connection cable for phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth short circuits. Verify the load isn't jammed, blocked, or stalled mechanically. Ensure the motor nameplate parameters are correctly entered in parameters 9905, 9906, and 9907. If operating in Vector mode (Parameter 9903 – 0 or 1), also check the motor power factor in parameter 9915 and ensure an autotune has been successfully completed for the connected motor. Reduce the Boost voltage setting in parameter 2603. Increase the ramp up time in parameter 2202. If the connected motor has a holding brake, ensure the brake is correctly connected and controlled, and is releasing correctly. If the fault occurs when running in Vector mode (parameter 9903 – 0,1,3), reduce the speed loo...
