What it means
A05054 (Parallel circuit: Power unit deactivated) is raised when, for the affected drive object, fewer power units connected in parallel are active than exist in the target topology. The drive does not trip: operation continues, but only at reduced power (power derating). Depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be output with no reaction (N).
Why it appears
- For the drive object involved, fewer power units connected in parallel are active than exist in the target topology.
- Operation is therefore only possible at reduced power (power derating).
What to check
- Establish which power units of the parallel circuit are deactivated for the affected drive object — the alarm means that at least one power unit contained in the target topology is not active.
- Re-activate the deactivated power units if required; the manual points to p0125 (Activate/deactivate power unit components) for this.
- If the power units are activated and deactivated via a signal, work with p0895 (BI: Activate/deactivate power unit components).
- p0897 (BI: Parking axis selection) is also referenced by the manual for this message; take it into account when re-activating the power units.
Parameters the manual names
- p0125 (Activate/deactivate power unit components): use it to re-activate a power unit that has been deactivated for the affected drive object.
- p0895 (BI: Activate/deactivate power unit components): the same activate/deactivate function as p0125, set as a BI signal — relevant when the deactivation is signal-controlled.
- p0897 (BI: Parking axis selection): parking axis selection, which the remedy for this alarm references together with p0125 and p0895.
Acknowledging and restarting
This alarm requires no acknowledgement and does not stop the drive. It is resolved by re-activating the deactivated power units (p0125, p0895, p0897) so that the number of active power units again matches the target topology.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes A05054 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | Power Module | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2749 |
| G130, G150 | NONE | NONE | Error in the parameterization / configuration / commissioning procedure (18) | Power Module | SINAMICS G130, G150 List Manual · p. 1522 |

Questions technicians ask
What does A05054 Parallel circuit: Power unit deactivated mean?
Fewer power units connected in parallel are active for the affected drive object than exist in the target topology. The drive keeps running, but only at reduced power (power derating).
Does A05054 have to be acknowledged?
No — the alarm has no reaction and needs no acknowledgement. It clears once the deactivated power units are re-activated.
How do I re-activate a power unit after A05054?
Re-activate the deactivated power units via p0125 (Activate/deactivate power unit components) or its BI counterpart p0895. The manual also references p0897 (BI: Parking axis selection) for this message.
