Symptoms

Motor operating under torque/current limit for extended time with actual speed below threshold P2175.

Possible Causes

  • Load too heavy or mechanical jam
  • Brake not released
  • Torque/current limit set too low
  • Motor shaft freely rotating at start (fly-start)
  • Acceleration time too short
  • Drive overheating

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check if load can rotate freely
  • Verify motor brake opens during drive operation
  • For vector control: check torque limits (r1538, r1539); for V/F: check P0640
  • Activate flying restart function P1200
  • Extend ramp acceleration time P1120
  • Check for other alarms like overheating
  • Re-optimize drive parameters
  • Adjust P2175 and P2177 thresholds or suppress fault

How to Reset

Reset by: 1) Correct the fault condition. 2) Press RESET button or send reset command via communication. 3) Verify fault does not recur during operation.
