About Inverter AC output phase loss
An output phase loss fault (LF) will occur when the current of an output phase has dropped below 5 - 10 % of the drive rated current. A loose connection or splice is present. An external device between the motor and drive (such as a contactor) has failed. An open phase is present in the motor.

6 FAQs about [Inverter AC output phase loss]
How much loss does a 3 phase inverter have?
For a 3-phase inverter rated above 5 kW or so with 400 to 700 volts output, losses could be as little as 2% to 4%. However, common inverters could have significantly higher losses, with 20% applying to smaller, lower-quality products. If you're looking for an overview of loss sources in a 3-phase inverter, please revise the question.
What is an output phase loss fault?
An output phase loss fault (LF) will occur when the current of an output phase has dropped below 5 - 10 % of the drive rated current. A loose connection or splice is present. An external device between the motor and drive (such as a contactor) has failed. An open phase is present in the motor. A single phase motor is being used.
What is the definition of inverter loss?
Inverter losses refer to the power difference between the maximum power point (MPP) of the arrays' I/V curve and the effective power of this operating point on the limit curves. The current limit condition may be specified as 'Maximum current per MPPT'.
What is output phase loss?
Output Phase Loss is typically indicated on the drive’s HMI by some alpha or numeric designation, which varies depending on the drive. For purposes of this discussion, we’ll note it is indicated by “LF” (in the case of the Yaskawa GA800) (see Fig. 1) or a numerical code (on the ABB ACS880, “3381”).
When is output phase loss protection disabled?
Output phase loss protection is automatically disabled when the drive is in Speed Search mode or the output frequency is less than 1Hz. Parameter L8-07 is not available in the J1000 drives. Was this helpful?
Can a VFD cause output phase loss?
Failures in cables from the VSD to the motor can also cause Output Phase Loss faults. Line-to-line and line-to-ground faults are the most obvious, and they can be caused by a number of environmental, mechanical or electrical factors. One of these electrical factors, corona discharge, is directly influenced by the use of a VFD.
