I hooked up a GS3 to do some tests. I only hooked up 3 phase power and ground. none of the 3.xx parameters are set to look for external faults. Will this error show if i do not hook the motor leads up? I was under the impression that I could test with the motor leads off. Thanks for any assistance.

    theschmu,

    I'm only guessing but if you were trying to run in sensorless vector mode or sensorless mode with feedback. I guessing you would get a fault. Try it VHz mode.
