What it means
F06505 is raised by the infeed when the current limit is exceeded while the transformer is being magnetized. The manual expresses the condition as r0068 > p5494[1] * r0207 — the actual value r0068 has risen above the scaling value p5494[1] multiplied by the rated power unit current r0207. The code is described for the infeeds of SINAMICS S120 and S150.
Why it appears
- The current limit was exceeded when magnetizing the transformer: r0068 climbed above the limit p5494[1] * r0207 that the drive applies during magnetization.
What to check
- Confirm that the current limit p5494[1] is set appropriately.
- Look for a short-circuit on the primary side of the transformer.
- Check the circuit breaker — how it is controlled and what feedback signal it returns.
Parameters the manual names
- p5494 — transformer magnetization scaling values; p5494[1] is the scaling value behind the magnetization current limit, and its setting is the first thing to check for this fault.
- r0207 — rated power unit current; together with p5494[1] it forms the limit the drive compares against while the transformer is magnetized.
- r0068 — the actual value that raises this fault as soon as it exceeds p5494[1] * r0207 during transformer magnetization.
Acknowledging and restarting
When the fault occurs, the infeed is taken offline with OFF1 (OFF2 as an alternative). After the cause has been corrected, acknowledge the fault — immediately, or after switching the supply off and on again, depending on the configuration — and restart the infeed.
The same on every family
Every manual that describes F06505 gives it the same reaction, acknowledgement and message class.
| Drive family | Reaction | Acknowledge | Message class | Component | Manual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S120, S150 | OFF1 (OFF2) | IMMEDIATELY (POWER ON) | Network fault (2) | None | SINAMICS S120, S150 List Manual · p. 2769 |

Questions technicians ask
What does F06505 mean on a SINAMICS infeed?
The current limit was exceeded while the transformer was being magnetized: r0068 has risen above p5494[1] * r0207, i.e. the scaling value times the rated power unit current.
Which parameter is checked first for F06505?
The setting of p5494[1], the transformer magnetization scaling value. Only after that do the manual's steps move to the transformer primary side and the circuit breaker signals.
How is fault F06505 cleared?
Fix the cause, then acknowledge the fault — immediately, or after switching the supply off and on again, depending on the configuration — and restart the infeed.
