Why does the servo trip when it is powered on?

QuestionReasonSolution
Servo tripThere is a short circuit between U, V and W phases inside the motor.

Use multimeter to detect the resistance values between the motor UV, UW, and VW (For cable pin define u could check here). Normally, the three-phase resistance should be equal. If it is less than 1 ohm, it means a short circuit between the phases. 

There is a short circuit between U, V, W and ground (PE).Use multimeter to detect the resistance values between U&PE, V&PE, and W&PE of the motor (For cable pin define u could check here). If the resistance value is not infinite, it can be confirmed that U, V, and W inside the motor are short-circuited to ground (PE).
