Missing Phase by Output
Kone · Frequency Inverter
What does 10 mean?
This error indicates that one or more output phases to the motor are either missing entirely or exhibit a significant imbalance, suggesting an issue with the drive's output stage or the motor connection wiring.
Common Causes
- Open circuit in one of the motor phases (e.g., broken motor cable, loose terminal connection).
- Internal failure of an output IGBT or a complete phase leg within the drive.
- Poor or intermittent connection between the drive output terminals and the motor terminals.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Disconnect the motor and measure the resistance between each pair of output phase terminals (U-V, V-W, U-W) on the drive; expect balanced readings.
- 2
Check all motor cable connections for looseness, damage, or corrosion at both the drive output and motor input ends.
- 3
Measure the insulation resistance of the motor windings to ground and phase-to-phase using a megger to detect potential shorts or open circuits.
- 4
If safely accessible, verify the output switching of each phase from the drive using an oscilloscope or appropriate measurement tool.
