What it means
F06207 is issued by the infeed when the asymmetry of the line currents is continuously too high — the imbalance between the currents of the individual line phases persists instead of appearing only briefly. The most probable cause is the failure of a line phase. Depending on how the drive is configured, the same condition can also be output as an alarm (A) or with no reaction at all (N).
Why it appears
- The asymmetry of the line currents is continuously too high — the drive measures a persistent imbalance between the phase currents.
- The most probable cause is the failure of a line phase.
What to check
- Check the preceding alarm A06206 and its alarm value.
- Check the line supply, the terminals and the fuses.
- Check the settings in p3462 and p3465 (see the parameter list below).
- Check the connection and the size (rating) of the line filter and/or the line commutating reactor.
Reading the message value
- The drive enters the fault value as a floating-point number in r2133.
- Digits to the left of the decimal point: highest rms phase current in amps.
- Decimal places: quotient of the lowest and highest rms phase current value.
Parameters the manual names
- r2133 (fault value for float values) — holds the fault value of this message as a floating-point number; read it to see which phase current the monitoring recorded and how strongly the currents diverge (decoding above).
- p3462 (infeed phase failure detection times) — the remedy asks you to check these detection-time settings.
- p3465 (infeed current symmetry monitoring thresholds) — the remedy asks you to check the symmetry thresholds here.
Acknowledging and restarting
The fault stops the drive with OFF1. Once the cause has been eliminated, the message is acknowledged immediately; a POWER ON also acknowledges it, and only then can the drive start again. If the condition is configured with reaction N, the drive takes no action and no acknowledgment is needed.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F06207 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF1 (NONE, OFF2) | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Network fault (2) | Power Module | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2759 |

Questions technicians ask
What does fault F06207 mean on a SINAMICS S120 or S150?
The infeed reports that the asymmetry of the line currents is continuously too high. The most probable cause is the failure of a line phase.
How do I fix fault F06207?
Check the preceding alarm A06206 and its alarm value, then the line supply, terminals and fuses, verify the settings in p3462 and p3465, and check the connection and size (rating) of the line filter and/or line commutating reactor. After eliminating the cause, acknowledge the fault immediately or via POWER ON.
What does the fault value of F06207 in r2133 mean?
It is a floating-point number: the digits left of the decimal point give the highest rms phase current in amps, and the decimal places give the quotient of the lowest and highest rms phase current value.
Can F06207 also be output as an alarm?
Yes. Depending on the drive configuration, the same condition can also be output as an alarm (A) or with no reaction at all (N).
