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.   
Overload during low-speed 
operation. 
When using a general motor, even 
it operates below rated current, an 
overload may still occur during 
low-speed operation. 
Decrease low-speed operation time. 
Replace the drive with a dedicated to VFD model. 
Increase the motor capacity.   
When using VFD dedicated 
motors, Pr.06-13=0 (electronic 
thermal relay selection motor 1 = 0 
inverter motor)     
Pr.06-13=1 electronic thermal relay selection motor 1 = standard motor (motor 
with fan on the shaft). 
Incorrect value of electronic 
thermal relay 
Reset to the correct motor rated current. 
The maximum motor frequency is 
set too low. 
Reset to the correct motor rated frequency. 
One drive to multiple motors 
Set Pr.06-13=2 electronic thermal relay selection motor 1 = disable, and install 
thermal relay on each motor. 
Check if the setting for stall 
prevention is correct. 
Set the stall prevention to the proper value. 
Torque compensation is too large. 
Adjust  the  torque  compensation (refer  to  Pr.07-26  torque  compensation  gain) 
until the current reduces and the motor does no stall. 
Motor fan error  Check the status of the fan, or replace the fan. 
Unbalanced three-phase 
impedance of the motor 
Replace the motor.

Electronic thermal 
relay 2 protection 
(EoL2) 
Electronic thermal relay 2 protection. The  drive coasts 
to stop once it activates. 
Action and Reset 
Action level  Start counting when output current > 150% of motor 2 rated current. 
Action time 
Pr.06-28 (If the output current is larger than 105% of motor 2 rated current again 
within 60 sec., the counting time reduces and is less than Pr.06-28.)   
Fault treatment parameter  N/A 
Reset method  Manual reset 
Reset condition  Reset in 5 sec. after the fault is cleared. 
Record  Yes
