Cause : CURRENT LIMIT comes when the drive has reached its maximum allowable current output. This can occur when the drive is attempting to drive a load that exceeds its rated power capacity or due to other internal or external factors.
Current Limit fault in a Parker AC30 drive indicates that the drive is operating at or near its maximum current limit, which is set to protect the drive and motor from excessive current. This fault typically occurs when the load demands more current than the drive can safely supply, or if there is an issue with the drive’s settings or the motor.
Common Causes of CURRENT LIMIT Faults:
- Overloading: Attempting to drive a load that is too heavy for the drive's rated power capacity.
- Motor Problems: Faulty motor windings, bearings, or other mechanical issues can increase the current draw and trigger a CURRENT LIMIT fault.
- Drive Internal Issues: Internal components within the drive, such as transistors or capacitors, may fail and cause excessive current flow.
- External Factors: Environmental factors, power supply issues, or interference from other equipment can contribute to current limit faults.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Verify Load:
- Ensure that the load connected to the drive does not exceed its rated power capacity.
- If necessary, reduce the load or use a drive with a higher power rating.
- Inspect the Motor:
- Check the motor for any signs of overheating, bearing noise, or other mechanical problems.
- If necessary, replace the motor with a new one.
- Inspect the Drive:
- Look for any visible damage or signs of overheating on the drive's exterior.
- Check for loose connections or faulty components.
- Check Power Supply:
- Ensure that the power supply is providing the correct voltage and current to the drive.
- If necessary, replace the power supply with a new one.
- Adjust Current Limit Settings:
- If the load is within the drive's rated capacity, you may need to adjust the drive's current limit settings. Consult the drive's manual for instructions on how to do this.
