Controller shows E011 Phase Sequence Error when attempting to transfer load
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This is a live AC power issue. Only qualified personnel should work inside the generator terminal box or ATS. Isolate all sources before opening covers.
- Verify phase rotation: Use a phase rotation meter on the generator output terminals (L1, L2, L3) and compare with the mains supply rotation at the ATS. Both should match (e.g. ABC).
- Inspect wiring: Check that the generator output cables are landed on the correct terminals in the ATS and main breaker as per the Atlas Copco wiring diagram.
- Check sensing leads: The controller uses voltage sensing leads to detect phase sequence. Ensure these small control wires are correctly connected and tight.
- Correct phase order: If rotation is reversed, swap any two phases at the generator output or ATS (with power isolated) and re‑test.
After correcting wiring, clear the E011 alarm and perform a test transfer under supervision.
