Diagnoscs and fault eliminaon
Malfuncons
If faults occur during the operaon of the drive, the table below helps you to idenfy the
causes. If it is not possible to remedy the fault using the measures listed, please contact the
Lenze service department.
Error Possible causes Remedy
Motor too hot
Can only be evaluated by measuring the surface
temperature:
•
Non-venlated motors >140 °C
•
Externally venlated or self-venlated motors
> 110 °C
Insucient cooling air, blocked air ducts. Ensure unimpeded circulaon of cooling air
Preheated cooling air Ensure a sucient supply of fresh cooling air
Overload, with normal mains voltage the
current is too high and the speed too low
Use larger drive (determined by power
measurement)
Rated operang mode (S1 to S8 IEC/EN
60034-1) exceeded
Adjust rated operang mode to the specied
operang condions. Determinaon of correct
drive by expert or Lenze customer service
Loose contact in supply cable (temporary
single-phase operaon!)
Tighten loose contact
Fuse has blown (single-phasing!) Replace fuse
Overload of the drive Check load and, if necessary, reduce by means
of longer ramp-up mes
Check winding temperature
Heat dissipaon impeded by deposits Clean surface and cooling ns of the drives
Heat dissipaon hindered by thermally
insulated aachment
Note the cooling eect of the mounng ange
during project planning
Motor suddenly stops and does not restart Overload monitoring of the inverter is acvated Check inverter sengs
Reduce load caused by longer acceleraon
mes
Incorrect direcon of rotaon of the motor,
correct display on the inverter
Motor cable with reverse polarity Check and correct polarity
Polarity of encoder cable reversed
Motor rotates normally but does not reach the
expected torque
Motor cable interchanged cyclically
Not all motor phases connected
Connect the phases at the motor cable
connecon correctly
Motor turns in one direcon at maximum speed
in an uncontrolled manner
Motor cable interchanged cyclically Check motor connecon and, if necessary,
correct
Polarity of encoder cable reversed Check encoder connecon and, if necessary,
correct
Motor slowly rotates in one direcon and is not
inuenced by the inverter
Polarity of motor cable and encoder cable
reversed
Check and correct polarity
Irregular running Insucient shielding of motor or resolver cable Checking shielding and earth connecon
Inverter gain too large Adjust the gains of the controllers (see
operang instrucons for the inverter)
Vibraons Insuciently balanced coupling elements or
machine
Rebalance
Inadequate alignment of drive train Realign machine unit, check foundaon, if
necessary.
Loose xing screws Check and ghten screw connecons
Running noises Foreign parcles inside the motor Repair by the manufacturer, if necessary
Bearing damage
