Ground Monitoring

Description

When the power stage is enabled, the device monitors the motor phases for ground errors. A ground error occurs when one or more motor phases are short-circuited to the ground (earth) of the application.

A ground error of one or more motor phases is detected. A ground error of the DC bus or the braking resistor is not monitored.

If the ground error monitoring is deactivated, the drive may be rendered inoperable by a ground error.

NOTICE
	INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT DUE TO GROUND ERRORS Only deactivate ground monitoring during commissioning and only for test purposes. Verify that the ground monitoring is active prior to putting the equipment into service. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
