What it means
Alarm A06401 tells you that a transformer data identification type or a transformer test operation has been selected or is currently active on the infeed. It accompanies the selected or running function rather than reporting a hardware problem. Which identification or test the drive means is encoded in the alarm value the drive writes to r2124.
Why it appears
- A transformer data identification run or a transformer test operation has been selected, or is currently being executed on the infeed.
What to check
- No measures are necessary: the drive withdraws this alarm by itself once the transformer identification has expired.
Reading the message value
- The drive stores the alarm value in r2124; the manual instructs you to interpret it as a decimal number.
- 11 — identification type 1 selected for transformer data (automatic determination of the magnetizing inductance).
- 12 — identification type 2 selected for transformer data (automatic determination of transformer phase shift and gain correction).
- 13 — identification type 3 selected for transformer data (determination of the total leakage inductance of the transformer during line data identification).
- 101 — test mode 1 selected.
- 102 — test mode 2 selected.
Parameters the manual names
- r2124 — alarm value: read it as a decimal number to see which transformer identification type or test mode is selected or active.
- p5480 (Transformer magnetization mode) — the related transformer magnetization setting to which the manual cross-references under this alarm.
Acknowledging and restarting
No acknowledgement and no restart are required. The manual states that the alarm is automatically withdrawn after the identification has expired
, so it disappears by itself once the transformer data identification finishes.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes A06401 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | NONE | NONE | Infeed faulted (13) | Power Module | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2767 |

Questions technicians ask
What does SINAMICS alarm A06401 mean?
It reports that a transformer data identification type or a transformer test operation has been selected or is active on the infeed. The alarm value in r2124, read as a decimal number, shows which identification or test mode is meant.
How do I clear alarm A06401?
You do not need to do anything. The alarm is withdrawn automatically once the transformer identification has expired, and no acknowledgement is required.
Which transformer identification or test mode is behind A06401?
Read the alarm value in r2124 as a decimal number: 11, 12 or 13 mean identification types 1, 2 or 3 for the transformer data, while 101 and 102 mean test mode 1 or 2.
