Cause : Overcurrent 1 comes when the current drawn by the connected load exceeds the drive's rated or set current limit. Overcurrent can occur for several reasons, including mechanical overload, short circuits, or incorrect drive settings.

OC1 fault in parker AC10 drive indicate Overcurrent 1 condition. This means the current drawn by the motor has exceeded the drive's maximum allowable limit. This fault is triggered to protect the drive and motor from potential damage due to excessive current.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Verify Load Conditions:

    • Inspect the load: Check for any mechanical issues, such as jamming or binding.
    • Measure current draw: Use a clamp meter to measure the current drawn by the load. Ensure it's within the drive's rated current limit.
    • Reduce load if necessary: If the load is overloaded, reduce the demand or adjust the drive settings accordingly.
  2. Review Drive Configuration:

    • Check current limit settings: Verify that the drive's current limit is set appropriately for the connected load.
    • Ensure proper motor sizing: Confirm that the motor is adequately sized for the load.
    • Address overheating issues: If the drive is overheating, check for ventilation problems or excessive ambient temperatures.
  3. Inspect External Factors:

    • Monitor power supply: Check for any voltage fluctuations or brownouts that might be affecting the drive.
    • Inspect motor and cabling: Ensure that the motor and its wiring are in good condition and free from damage.
    • Address environmental concerns: If the drive is operating in a harsh environment, take appropriate measures to protect it.
