6-25 
[ 36 ]   0lU Inverter overload 
Phenomenon:  Temperature inside inverter has risen abnormally. 
(1)  The surrounding temperature 
exceeded the inverter's mode 
limit. 
Measure the surrounding temperature. 
➔  Lower the temperature (e.g., ventilate the panel where the inverter 
is mounted). 
(2)  Excessive torque boost 
specified (F09*) 
Check whether decreasing the torque boost (F09*) does not stall the 
motor. 
➔  If no stall occurs, decrease the F09* data. 
(3)  The specified acceleration/ 
deceleration time was too short. 
Recalculate the acceleration/deceleration torque and time needed for 
the load, based on the moment of inertia of the load and the 
acceleration/deceleration times. 
➔  Increase the acceleration/deceleration times (F07, F08, E10 to E15, 
and H56). 
Measure the inverter output current. 
➔  Reduce the load (e.g. Use the overload early warning (E34) and 
reduce the load before the overload protection is activated.) In 
winter, the load tends to increase. 
➔  Decrease the Carrier frequency (function code F26). 
➔  Enable overload prevention control (H70).。 
(5)  Ventilation paths are blocked. 
Check if there is sufficient clearance around the inverter. 
➔  Change the mounting place to ensure the clearance. 
Check if the fin is not clogged. 
➔  Clean the fins. 
(6)  Cooling fan's airflow volume 
decreased due to the service 
life expired or failure. 
Check the cumulative run time of the cooling fan. (See Chapter 3 “3.4.5 
Reading maintenance information”.) 
➔  Replace the cooling fan. 
Visually check that the cooling fan rotates normally. 
➔  Replace the cooling fan. 
(7)  The wires to the motor are too 
long, causing a large leakage 
current from them. 
Measure the leakage current. 
➔  Insert an output circuit filter (OFL).
