What to do if my Baldor Series 10 motor will not start?
- R
  Rachel KellyJul 27, 2025
  If your Baldor Inverter motor won't start, there are several potential causes. It could be due to insufficient starting torque, in which case you should increase the torque boost setting. Another possibility is that the motor is overloaded; verify the proper motor and control rating. Also, verify couplings are not binding. Finally, consider installing a motor and control with higher ratings.

  Fernando DixonAug 1, 2025
  If your Baldor Inverter motor isn't reaching its maximum speed, it could be due to several reasons. The Max. Output Frequency Limit might be set too low, so adjust this setting. Check for mechanical overload; if the unloaded motor shaft doesn't rotate freely, inspect the motor bearings. Make sure the control is receiving the proper command signals at the control terminal strip and is set to receive your type of speed command. A faulty speed potentiometer could also be the cause, so consider replacing it.

Why is my Baldor Series 10 Inverter motor speed unstable?
- R
  ralph06Aug 11, 2025
  Unstable motor speed in your Baldor Inverter can stem from a few issues. There might be an oscillating load, so correct the loading problem. Unstable input power could also be the culprit, so correct the input power problem. Additionally, the slip compensation might be set too high; adjust the slip compensation to resolve this.

  If your Baldor Inverter motor won't stop rotating, it could be because the MIN. Output Frequency Limit is set too high; adjust this setting. Verify the control is receiving proper command signals at the control terminal strip and is set to receive your type of speed command. Also, the speed potentiometer might have failed, so replace it.

How to fix a Baldor Inverter motor that runs rough at low speeds?
- P
  Patricia WilliamsAug 22, 2025
  If your Baldor Inverter motor runs rough at low speeds, the torque boost might be set too high, so adjust the torque boost setting. Verify and align the motor/load coupling to correct any misalignment. If these steps don't resolve the issue, replace the motor.
