Reported fault Root cause Recommended actions
Motor goes into current
limit following drive
enable
Motor data, symmetrical
current limit
Ensure the motor data has been set-up correctly in the drive and the symmetrical
current limit has also been set-up for the system.
• Refer to Menu B Motor and Symmetrical Current Limit (B16)
Autotune
For a PM motor and operation in RFC-S if the motor goes into current limit on enable
ensure an autotune has been carried out to derive the correct encoder phase angle, or
this has been entered if known.
• Refer to Motor Autotune (B11)
Position feedback
Check the position feedback if this has failed or connected incorrectly the drive will no
longer operate correctly in either RFC-A or RFC-S.
• Refer to Drive Encoder Position (J53) and check connections to drive encoder port.
• Refer to Drive Encoder Feedback Reverse (C12) to change rotation of encoder
feedback where this is connected incorrectly.
Motor rated speed “slip”
incorrect (Open loop vector,
RFC-A)
The motor is unable to reach the demanded speed due to a limitation in output torque,
current limit operation as a result of the incorrect rated speed “slip”
• Manually adjust the rated speed to achieve the maximum torque in Torque
Producing Current (J24) (Open loop)
• Tune the rated speed to achieve the maximum torque using Motor Parameter
Adaptive Control (B25) (RFC-A)
Motor, motor connection fault
Check the connections from the drive output to the motor including the output motor
contactors and any shorting contactor which may be used.
