PowerFlex 525 F007: Motor Overload
What F007 means
The drive's electronic motor-overload protection tripped: the motor drew more current than its setting allows, for too long.
Symptoms
Trips after running a while under load, often earlier on hot days.
Is it repairable?
Yes: motor bearing and winding repairs are routine; the drive itself is usually healthy.
Common causes
- Mechanical load too heavy or binding
- Motor current setting in the drive too low for the motor
- Worn motor bearings
- A failing motor winding
Safe checks
- 1Compare running current with the motor nameplate
- 2Check that the motor nameplate current is entered correctly
- 3Turn the load by hand to feel for binding
Drives hold dangerous voltage after power-off. Checks should only be done by qualified personnel, with power isolated and the DC link discharged.
