ERC error question

If you correctly copied the error text then this means that the pin in question is defined as power input. (Why would you do that for the base contact of a bipolar transistor. You might want to look at Electrical type of schematic symbol pins (KiCad 4 and KiCad 5))

A power input pin needs a power output pin on the same net. If you come to the conclusion that power input is the right type for that pin then look at ErrType(3): Pin connected to some others pins but no pin to drive it


And generally: Why would you use a bipolar transistor in a switching application? I would have expected a power mosfet or an IGPT. (Or is your symbol simply wrong?)
