How to fix motor overload trip on BENSHAW DC Drives?
- B
  barbaracannonAug 15, 2025
  If the motor overload trip is activated on your BENSHAW DC Drive, there are several potential causes: * The load might be exceeding the motor's rated capacity. In this case, consider replacing the motor or inverter with larger models. * The Pr.21 value for the overload trip level might be set too low. Try increasing this value. * There could be a connection problem between the motor and the load. Inspect the connections and measure the amps going to the motor. * The inverter or motor might be too large for the application. Consider replacing them with models that have a lower capacity.

What to do if parameters cannot be set on BENSHAW RSi GM2 DC Drives?
- K
  ksmithAug 21, 2025
  If you are unable to set parameters on your BENSHAW DC Drives, consider these possibilities: 1. The inverter might be in operation (run mode). Stop the inverter to switch to program mode. 2. The parameter access level might be incorrect. Double-check that you are using the correct access level. 3. The password might be incorrect. Verify the password and disable the parameter lock if necessary.

What causes overheating of the motor in BENSHAW DC Drives?
- M
  millersusanAug 26, 2025
  If the motor has overheated in your BENSHAW DC Drives system, it could be due to these reasons: * The load exceeds the inverter's rated capacity. Replace the inverter with a larger model. * The inverter has been operated at a low speed for an extended time. Ensure adequate motor cooling at low speeds and consider adding supplemental cooling.

Why does BENSHAW RSi GM2 DC Drives internal DC link voltage exceed the OV trip level?
- K
  Kirsten NortonAug 28, 2025
  If the internal DC link voltage of your BENSHAW DC Drives exceeds the OV trip level, it may be because the input voltage is too high. Check both the supply voltage and the DC Link voltage.

Why BENSHAW DC Drives inverter protects itself from overload or overheating?
- A
  Alexis GutierrezSep 4, 2025
  If your BENSHAW DC Drives inverter is protecting itself from overload or overheating, it is likely because the load is greater than the inverter's rated capacity. Consider replacing the inverter with a larger model.

How to troubleshoot motor underload trip on BENSHAW DC Drives?
- S
  Sophia BeckerSep 7, 2025
  If the motor underload trip is activated on your BENSHAW DC Drives, it's likely that the Pr.29, Pr.30 underload level is less than the system’s minimum load. Reduce the value for the underload levels.

Why BENSHAW RSi GM2 DC Drives motor rotates only in one direction?
- D
  Debra DiazSep 12, 2025
  If the motor in your BENSHAW DC Drives system only rotates in one direction, it is possible that reverse rotation prevention is selected. Remove the reverse rotation prevention to allow rotation in both directions.
