A.100: 
Overcurrent 
Detected (An 
overcurrent 
flowed through 
the power trans-
former or the heat 
sink overheated.)
The SERVOPACK 
regenerative resis-
tance is too small.
Check the regenerative 
load ratio in the Sig-
maWin+ Motion Monitor 
Tab Page to see how 
frequently the regenera-
tive resistor is being 
used.
Change the regenerative 
resistance to a value 
larger than the SERVO-
PACK minimum allowable 
resistance.
–
A heavy load was 
applied while the Ser-
vomotor was stopped 
or running at a low 
speed.
Check to see if the 
operating conditions 
exceed Servo Drive 
specifications.
Reduce the load applied 
to the Servomotor. Or, 
increase the operating 
speed.
–
A malfunction was 
caused by noise.
Improve the noise envi-
ronment, e.g. by 
improving the wiring or 
installation conditions, 
and check to see if the 
alarm still occurs.
Implement countermea-
sures against noise, such 
as correct wiring of the 
FG.
Use an FG wire size 
equivalent to the SERVO-
PACK’s main circuit wire 
size.
–
A failure occurred in 
the SERVOPACK.
–
Turn the power supply to 
the SERVOPACK OFF and 
ON again.
If an alarm still occurs, the 
SERVOPACK may be 
faulty.
Replace the SERVO-
PACK.
–
A.101: 
Motor Overcur-
rent Detected 
(The current to 
the motor 
exceeded the 
allowable cur-
rent.)
The Main Circuit 
Cable is not wired 
correctly or there is 
faulty contact.
Check the wiring. Correct the wiring.

There is a short-circuit 
or ground fault in a 
Main Circuit Cable.
Check for short-circuits 
across cable phases U, 
V, and W, or between 
the ground and cable 
phases U, V, and W.
The cable may be short-
circuited. Replace the 
cable.
There is a short-circuit 
or ground fault inside 
the Servomotor.
Check for short-circuits 
across Servomotor 
phases U, V, and W, or 
between the ground 
and Servomotor phases 
U, V, or W.
The Servomotor may be 
faulty. Replace the Servo-
motor.
There is a short-circuit 
or ground fault inside 
the SERVOPACK.
Check for short-circuits 
across the Servomotor 
connection terminals U, 
V, an d W on the SE R-
VOPACK, or between 
the ground and termi-
nals U, V, or W.
The SERVOPACK may be 
faulty. Replace the SER-
VOPACK.
A heavy load was 
applied while the Ser-
vomotor was stopped 
or running at a low 
speed.
Check to see if the 
operating conditions 
exceed Servo Drive 
specifications.
Reduce the load applied 
to the Servomotor. Or, 
increase the operating 
speed.
