Motor overheating 
(oH3) PT100 
Motor overheating (PT100) (Pr.03-00=11 PT100). 
When PT100 input > Pr.06-57 (default = 7 V), the fault 
treatment acts according to Pr.06-29.   
Action and Reset 
Action level  PT100 input value > Pr.06-57 setting (default = 7 V) 
Action time  Immediately act 
Fault treatment parameter 
Pr.06-29 
0: Warn and continue operation 
1: Warn and ramp to stop 
2: Warn and coast to stop 
3: No warning 
Reset method 
When Pr.06-29=0 and the temperature < Pr.06-56, oH3 is automatically cleared. 
When Pr.06-29=1 or 2, oH3 is a “Fault”. You must reset manually 
Reset condition  Immediately reset 
Record  When Pr.06-29=1 or 2, oH3 is a “Fault”, and the fault is recorded. 
Cause  Corrective Actions 
Motor shaft lock  Remove the shaft lock. 
The load is too large. 
Reduce the load. 
Increase the motor capacity. 
Ambient temperature is too high. 
Change  the  installed  place  If  there  are  heating  devices  in  the  surroundings. 
Install/ add cooling fan or air conditioner to lower the ambient temperature. 
Motor cooling system error  Check the cooling system to make it work normally. 
Motor fan error  Replace the fan 
Operate at low-speed too long. 
Decrease low-speed operation time. 
Replace the motor with a dedicated to VFD model. 
Increase the motor capacity. 
Accel./Decel. time and working 
cycle are too short. 
Increase the setting values for Pr.01-12–01-19 (accel./decel. time). 
V/F voltage is too high. 
Adjust settings for Pr.01-01–01-08 (V/F curve), especially the setting value for 
the mid-point voltage (if the mid-point voltage is set too low, the load capacity 
decreases at low speed). 
Refer to the V/F curve selection of Pr.01-43. 
Check if the motor rated current 
matches that on the motor 
nameplate. 
Reset to the correct motor rated current. 
Check if the PT100 is properly set 
and wired. 
Check connection of PT100 thermistor. 
Check if the setting for stall 
prevention is correct. 
Set the stall prevention to the proper value. 
Unbalanced three-phase 
impedance of the motor 
Replace the motor. 
Harmonics are too high.  Use remedies to reduce harmonics.

Over-torque 1 
(ot1) 
When output current exceeds the over-torque detection 
level (Pr.06-07) and exceeds over-torque detection time 
(Pr.06-08), and when Pr.06-06 or Pr.06-09 is set to 2 or 
4, the ot1 error displays. 
Action and Reset 
Action level  Pr.06-07 
Action time  Pr.06-08 
Fault treatment parameter 
Pr.06-06 
0: No function 
1: Continue operation after over-torque detection during constant speed 
operation 
2: Stop after over-torque detection during constant speed operation 
3: Continue operation after over-torque detection during RUN 
4: Stop after over-torque detection during RUN   
Reset method 
Auto 
When Pr.06-06=1 or 3, ot1 is a “Warning”. The warning is 
automatically cleared when the output current < (Pr.06-07 – 5%).   
Manual  When Pr.06-06=2 or 4, ot1 is a “Fault”. You must reset manually. 
Reset condition  Immediately reset
