What does 3 mean?

The sum of the motor phase currents is not zero, indicating a current leakage to earth, detected by either hardware or software. This is typically caused by insulation malfunction in the motor or its cables, or a malfunction in associated filters (e.g., du/dt, sinus filters). An earth fault poses a safety risk and can cause equipment damage.
