What does F021 mean?
This ATV310 fault detects a short-circuit condition at the drive's output, impacting the motor or cabling. It can be triggered either at the run command or during a DC injection command, especially if parameter 608 (IGBT Test) is set to 01.
Common Causes
- Short-circuit at the drive output terminals (U, V, W)
- Short circuit detected at the run command or during DC injection command if parameter 608 (IGBT Test) is set to 01
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.

Disconnect the motor from the ATV310 drive's output terminals.
- 2
Check the cables connecting the drive to the motor for any short circuits (phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground) using a multimeter.
- 3
Test the motor winding insulation resistance with a megohmmeter (megger) to ensure there are no ground faults or inter-phase shorts.
