A2B3

Earth leakage warning

ABB · ACS580 General Purpose Drive

What does A2B3 mean?

The drive has detected an earth (ground) fault or current unbalance in the motor or motor cable, but it is configured to issue a warning rather than trip. While allowing continued operation, this indicates a potentially developing safety issue or insulation degradation that requires immediate attention before it escalates to a full fault.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    Verify proper grounding of the motor frame and the drive's protective earth connection.

  2. 4

    Consider changing parameter 31.20 to 'Fault' if the condition is critical and requires a trip rather than a warning.
