Possible Causes

Installer‑set maximum speed limit, Thermal derating due to high temperature, Undervoltage supply limiting inverter output, Internal inverter fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Only adjust installer settings if you understand their impact on the system.

Steps to check:

  • Review settings: Enter the installer menu and verify maximum speed and power limits are set appropriately.
  • Check ambient conditions: Ensure the pump is not overheating or installed in a confined, hot space.
  • Verify supply voltage: Have an electrician confirm that the supply voltage is within the DAB pump's specified range under load.
  • If limitations persist: The inverter may be derating due to internal faults; have the DAB control module tested and replaced if needed.
