  If the line fuse blows or the circuit breaker trips when using Leeson Control Systems, it could be due to several reasons. First, verify that the line fuses or circuit breakers are the correct size. Second, check the motor cable and armature for any shorts to ground. Finally, if nuisance tripping occurs due to ambient conditions and high-current spikes, consider adding a blower to cool the drive components, decreasing the TORQUE settings, or resizing the motor and drive to match the actual load demand. Also, inspect for misaligned mechanical components or jams.

What to do if the Leeson SPEEDMASTER WASHGUARD 174102 Control Systems motor pulsates or surges under load?

  If your Leeson Control Systems motor pulsates or surges under load, it might be because the IR COMP is set too high. Try adjusting the IR COMP setting slightly counter-clockwise until the motor speed stabilizes. Alternatively, the control could be in current limit mode, so ensure the motor has sufficient horsepower and amperage.

  If the line fuse doesn't blow or the circuit breaker doesn't trip, but the Leeson Control Systems motor won't run, there are several potential causes. First, make sure the reference signal or speed adjust pot isn't set to zero speed; increase the setting. Second, check that the reference signal or speed adjust potentiometer connections are not open. Third, verify that the motor is not jammed or increase the TORQUE setting. Fourth, ensure the drive is receiving AC line voltage at L1 and L2. Lastly, confirm the motor is properly connected to A1 and A2.

How to stop Leeson SPEEDMASTER WASHGUARD 174102 motor when speed adjust potentiometer is at zero?

  Juan Reilly DDSAug 29, 2025
  If the Leeson Control Systems motor will not stop when the speed adjust potentiometer or reference signal is set to zero speed, it is likely that the MIN SPD trimpot is not adjusted properly. Slowly rotate the MIN SPD trimpot until the motor stops.

Why is my Leeson SPEEDMASTER WASHGUARD 174102 motor running in the opposite direction?

  If a Leeson Control Systems motor runs in the opposite direction on non-reversing drives, the motor armature leads are likely reversed. Correct this by reversing the connections to the motor armature.
