F39

Phase V to Gnd

Allen-Bradley · PowerFlex 4 Adjustable Frequency

What does F39 mean?

A grounded phase condition has been detected specifically on motor phase V or in the wiring connecting drive output terminal V to the motor. This indicates a direct short path to ground.

Common Causes

  • Phase V winding shorted to ground in the motor.
  • Cable insulation failure between phase V and ground.
  • Internal drive fault with phase V output stage.
  • Grounding fault on phase V line conductor.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Disconnect the motor from the drive output terminals (U, V, W).

  2. 2

    Measure insulation resistance between drive output terminal V and earth ground using a megger at 500VDC; expect a reading greater than 1 MΩ.

  3. 3

    Measure insulation resistance between motor phase V and the motor frame using a megger at 500VDC; expect a reading greater than 1 MΩ.

  4. 4

    Inspect the wiring connecting drive output terminal V and motor phase V for any physical damage or signs of insulation breakdown.
