Here's what the manual says: The leakage inductance measurement requires a test current to be inserted into the motor. It has not been possible to achieve the required level of current. Check that the motor is wired correctly.

It seems as though you would only see this message on a new installation, but it can also appear in the event of a motor wiring issue or an open motor winding. You will need to research your motor connections and continuity to clear this alarm.
