E-39

Initial Position Detection Fault

Schindler · Altivar 212 Variable Frequency Drive

What does E-39 mean?

This fault is detected at startup if the measured current during initial position detection is either too small or too large, indicating a mismatch with the motor's inductance or an output phase loss.

Common Causes

  • Measured current at initial position detection is too small or too large.
  • Motor inductance is not correctly identified (too small or too large).
  • Output phase loss during initial detection.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check all motor phase connections (U, V, W terminals) for continuity and tightness.

  2. 2

    Verify the maximum current allowed by the drive configuration settings.

  3. 3

    Assess the motor's inductance to ensure it is within expected limits for the application.
