Symptoms
The AKD reports a phase sequence error. The input power phase sequence does not match the expected rotation direction.
Possible Causes
- Input power phase sequence is reversed at the drive terminals
- Motor wiring phase sequence incorrect for the desired rotation
- Phase sequence changed during maintenance without correction
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Check the input power phase sequence with a phase rotation tester
Phase sequence is incorrect - Step 2: Swap any two input power leads to correct the sequence
Phase rotation tester shows correct direction - Step 3: Verify the motor rotation direction after correction
Motor rotates in the correct direction
How to Reset
To reset: Correct the phase sequence, then reset the fault and restart.
