Troubleshooting Guide for Inverter Faults
System Fault
-
Isolation Failure (Isolation Fault)
- Description: Earth fault of the PV panels or failure of surge voltage protection.
- Possible Causes: GFCI (Ground Fault Current Interrupter) activation indicates an isolation issue, possibly due to damaged PV panels or compromised surge protection.
-
Ground Fault (GFCI Active)
- Description: Ground Fault Current on ground conductor is too high.
- Possible Causes: This fault occurs when the current flowing through the ground conductor exceeds safety thresholds, indicating a potential leakage or earth fault.
-
Grid Failure (Grid Fault)
- Description: Grid measured data is beyond the specification (voltage & frequency).
- Possible Causes: This fault is triggered when grid voltage or frequency falls outside permissible limits, indicating instability or failure in the grid connection.
-
Abnormal Grid Impedance (Impedance Fault)
-
Description:
- Grid impedance higher than the permissible value.
- Grid impedance change is higher than limit.
- Possible Causes: High grid impedance or rapid changes in impedance can signal issues with grid stability or connectivity.
-
Description:
-
No Grid Utility Voltage (No Utility)
-
Description:
- Inverter is not connected to the grid.
- Grid is absent.
- Possible Causes: This fault occurs when there is no grid voltage detected, either due to the inverter not being properly connected to the grid or a complete grid outage.
-
Description:
Inverter Faults
-
DC-Input Voltage Too High (PV Over Voltage)
- Description: DC-Input voltage higher than the permissible 500V.
- Possible Causes: This fault indicates that the voltage from the PV panels exceeds the inverter's maximum input voltage, potentially due to excessive sunlight or a configuration error.
-
Consistent Failure (Consistent Fault)
- Description: The readings of 2 microprocessors are not consistent. It is probably caused by CPU and/or other circuit not functioning well.
- Possible Causes: A discrepancy in the readings from the inverter's microprocessors suggests a hardware malfunction, possibly in the CPU or related circuits.
-
Bus Failure (DC Bus High / DC Bus Low)
- Description: DC-Bus voltage too high or too low.
- Possible Causes: This fault occurs when the DC bus voltage inside the inverter deviates significantly from the normal range, indicating issues with the inverter's power conversion process.
-
Device Failure (Device Fault)
- Description: The device is unable to return to normal status.
- Possible Causes: A generic fault indicating the inverter cannot recover from an error condition, requiring further diagnostics or service.
-
Temperature Too High (Over Temperature)
- Description: The internal temperature is higher than the specified normal value.
- Possible Causes: Overheating of the inverter, potentially due to inadequate ventilation, high ambient temperatures, or excessive load.
