Cause  Corrective Actions 
Hardware failure 
Wait  for  10  minutes,  and  then  cycle  the  power.  Check  if  tH1o  protection  still 
exists. If yes, return to the factory for repair.

Overload 
(oL) 
The AC motor drive detects excessive drive output 
current.   
Overload capacity: 
  Normal duty: 
Sustains  for  one  minute  when  the  drive  outputs 
120% of the drive’s rated output current. 
Sustains  for  three  seconds  when  the  drive  outputs 
150% of the drive’s rated output current. 
  Heavy duty: 
Sustains  for  one  minute  when  the  drive  outputs 
150% of the drive’s rated output current. 
Sustains  for  three  seconds  when  the  drive  outputs 
200% of the drive’s rated output current. 
Action and Reset 
Action level  Based on overload curve and derating curve (Pr.06-55) 
Action time 
When the load is higher than the protection level and exceeds allowable time, 
the oL protection activates. 
Fault treatment parameter  N/A 
Reset method  Manual reset 
Reset condition  Reset in 5 sec. after the fault is cleared. 
Record  Yes 
Cause  Corrective Actions 
The load is too large.  Reduce the load. 
Accel./Decel. time and the 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 the 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.   
The capacity of the drive is too 
small. 
Replace the drive with a larger capacity model. 
Overload during low-speed 
operation. 
Reduce the load during low-speed operation. 
Increase the drive capacity. 
Decrease the carrier frequency of Pr.00-17. 
Torque compensation is too large. 
Adjust  the  torque  compensation (refer  to  Pr.07-26  torque  compensation  gain) 
until the output current reduces and the motor does not stall. 
Check if the setting for stall 
prevention is correct. 
Set the stall prevention to the proper value. 
Output phase loss 
Check the status of three-phase motor. 
Check if the cable is broken or the screws are loose. 
Improper parameter settings for 
the speed tracking function 
(including restart after momentary 
power loss and restart after fault) 
Correct the parameter settings for speed tracking. 
1.  Start the speed tracking function. 
2.  Adjust the maximum current for Pr.07-09 speed tracking.

Electronic thermal 
relay 1 protection 
(EoL1) 
Electronic thermal relay 1 protection. The drive  coasts 
to stop once it activates. 
Action and Reset 
Action level  Start counting when output current > 150% of motor 1 rated current. 
Action time 
Pr.06-14 (if the output current is larger than 105% of motor 1 rated current again 
within 60 sec., the counting time reduces and is less than Pr.06-14.) 
Fault treatment parameter  N/A 
Reset method  Manual reset 
Reset condition  Reset in 5 sec. after the fault is cleared. 
Record  Yes
