Error Messages

An Error message is caused by a critical inverter fault. When this occurs, the inverter will usually shut
down and will display a fault LED. One or more messages in this menu will change from

N

to

Y

. An error is

also accompanied by an event message (see page 61).

See the inverter Operator's Manual for more information on troubleshooting a specific error.

Inverter Errors

Screen Items:

Low Output Voltage: The inverter’s AC regulation
cannot be maintained under high load conditions.

AC Output Shorted: The inverter exceeded its
maximum surge current due to severe overload.

AC Output Backfeed: Usually indicates another AC
power source (out of phase with the inverter) was
connected to the unit’s AC output.

Stacking Error: A programming problem among
stacked units. (Often occurs if there is no master.)

Low Battery V: The DC voltage is below the Low Battery
Cut-Out (LBCO) set point. (See page 88.)

High Battery V: The DC voltage is above the inverter’s
acceptable level (as specified in the Operator’s Manual
for the appropriate inverter).

Over Temperature: The inverter has exceeded its
maximum allowed operating temperature.

Phase Loss: A slave was ordered to transfer to AC by
the master, but no AC is present. The unit continues
inverting. This is the only “Error” that is not
accompanied by a shutdown.
