How to troubleshoot abnormal noise in Nidec Engine?
- M
  Michael MartinezAug 3, 2025
  If your Nidec Engine is making abnormal noises, first, uncouple it from the driven equipment to test it independently. If the noise persists after switching off the power supply in “freewheel” mode, the issue is mechanical. If the noise stops after switching off the power, the problem is electrical. In the first case check the installation. In the second case check the power supply at the motor terminals and the drive settings.

Why does my Nidec Engine motor heat up abnormally?
- C
  Collin BarnettAug 8, 2025
  If your Nidec Engine motor heats abnormally, begin by checking for faulty ventilation. Ensure the environment is suitable, clean the fan cover and cooling fins, and verify the fan is correctly mounted. Also, check the current consumption in relation to the motor nameplate to avoid overload.
