F103 Thy/Grnd Flt 
Fault when conducting the 
thyristor/ground-fault test 
 
This fault message can only occur if the 
thyristor/ground-fault test is activated with 
parameters P353 / P354. 
A software check is made to see whether 
all thyristors have blocking capability, 
whether they can be fired, and whether 
there is a ground fault 
Identification of the firing lines and the 
associated thyristors should always be 
made with the aid of the relevant wiring 
diagram (see Section 3-5 "Power 
terminals").

Short-circuit of thyristor V11 or V24 
 
Short-circuit of thyristor V12 or V25 
 
Short-circuit of thyristor V13 or V26 
 
Short-circuit of thyristor V14 or V21 
 
Short-circuit of thyristor V15 or V22 
 
Short-circuit of thyristor V16 or V23 
- Thyristor defective 
- Thyristor externally shorted 
(e.g. by ground fault in grounded 
system and ground fault in the 
motor) 
- Connection to DC link interrupted 
(e.g. fuse blown) 
 
Possible reasons for the thyristor 
being defective: 
- Interruption in the RC circuit 
- Converter and compensation 
control not optimized (excessive 
current peaks) 
- Cooling not guaranteed (e.g. fan 
not running, ambient temperature 
too high, to little air intake, heat 
sink severely contaminated) 
- Excessive voltage peaks in 
supply system 
 
8  Ground fault in DC link or in motor / 
rectifier fuse defective 
- Ground fault 
- Connection to DC link interrupted 
(e.g. fuse blown) 
 
9  I = 0 - Message defective  - CUR module defect
