Input Voltage Imbalance (Adv. Code 0)
Vacon · X4
Was bedeutet 12 ?
This fault is triggered when the drive detects a significant voltage imbalance between its input phases or a complete loss of one phase (single-phase condition) while operating under load. Such conditions can lead to excessive current draw, overheating of input components, and potential damage to the drive's input rectifier and DC bus.
Häufige Ursachen
- Loss of one incoming AC phase (single-phasing) due to a blown fuse, tripped breaker, or open conductor in the supply line.
- Significant voltage imbalance (e.g., >3%) between input phases (L1, L2, L3) caused by utility issues or unbalanced loads on the same transformer.
- Loose or corroded connections at the drive's input terminals (L1, L2, L3) or upstream power distribution points.
- Faulty input rectifier components within the drive causing internal voltage imbalance detection.
- Incorrectly sized input reactor (if present) leading to voltage sags under load.
Reparaturschritte & Checkliste

- 1
1. Measure the voltage between each pair of input phases (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1) at the drive's input terminals using a true RMS multimeter.
- 2
2. Inspect all upstream fuses and circuit breakers for the drive's power supply, ensuring none are open or tripped.
- 3
3. De-energize and lock out the drive. Inspect the drive's input terminals (L1, L2, L3) and wiring for secure connections, corrosion, or signs of overheating.

4. Verify the power quality of the incoming utility supply at the main distribution panel, checking for stable voltage and phase balance.

5. If the drive has an input line reactor, inspect its connections and ensure it is correctly rated for the drive's power.
