E-24 Output Phase Loss  fault in Toshiba drive

E-24 Output Phase Loss (Voltage Detection) fault in Toshiba drive

Description Some Toshiba drives use E-24 specifically for "Output Phase Loss detected by DC Bus Ripple/Voltage" rather than current. If one phase of the motor is disconnected, the back-EMF voltage signature changes. E-24 is often more sensitive than the standard "Output EPH" and works better at light loads. Causes
1. Loose Motor Wire: High resistance connection at the motor peckerhead.
2. Contactor Failure: An output contactor has burnt contacts on one pole.
3. Very Light Load: Running a motor with no load attached can sometimes create a voltage imbalance that mimics a phase loss. Solution Check all output connections.

If the application involves running a motor completely unloaded for test purposes, you may need to disable the "Output Phase Loss Selection" parameter (F605) temporarily to clear E-24. Remember to re-enable it before putting the machine into service, or you risk burning out the motor if a wire actually breaks later.
