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
Check all motor phase connections (U, V, W terminals) for continuity and tightness.
- 2
Verify the maximum current allowed by the drive configuration settings.
- 3
Assess the motor's inductance to ensure it is within expected limits for the application.
