InFA

Input Phase Loss Circuit Error

Schneider Electric · Altivar Machine ATV320 Variable Speed Drive

What does InFA mean?

A detected error in the input phase loss circuit. This indicates a problem with the drive's internal sensing of the incoming mains voltage phases, which is crucial for detecting power supply issues. This fault may falsely indicate a phase loss or miss a real one, impacting drive protection.

Common Causes

  • Loss of one or more input phases detected by the drive's monitoring circuit.
  • Loose connection on the main power input terminals (L1, L2, L3).
  • Failure of a phase monitoring component within the drive.
  • Motor winding fault causing uneven phase currents.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify that all incoming three-phase power connections to the drive are secure and correct.

  2. 2

    Check incoming mains voltage for stability and balance across all phases.

  3. 3

    Power cycle the drive to reset the internal sensing logic.

  4. 4

    If the fault persists, it indicates an internal hardware issue with the input phase detection circuit, requiring repair or replacement.
