Red LED is Glowing Continuously

4.2.1

Procedure for Troubleshooting

If the red LED is continuously glowing during operation, there is a ground fault in the PV array or at
least one of the varistors for overvoltage protection is defective.

Procedure

See

1.

Check the PV array for ground faults.

Section 4.2.2, page 16

2.

If the red LED continues to glow, check
the function of the varistors.

Section 4.2.3, page 19

4.2.2

Checking the PV System for Ground Faults

If the red LED is glowing and the inverter displays the message Riso or the communication product
displays the message Insulation error, there is a ground fault in the PV array. The electrical
insulation between the PV system and ground is defective or insufficient.
If the inverter displays the event numbers 3501, 3601 or 3701, there could be a ground fault. The
electrical insulation from the PV system to ground is defective or insufficient.

Danger to life due to electric shock
In the event of a ground fault, high voltages can be present.

• Touch the cables of the PV array on the insulation only.
• Do not touch any parts of the substructure or frame of the PV array.
• Do not connect PV strings with ground faults to the inverter.

Destruction of the measuring device due to overvoltage

• Only use measuring devices with a DC input voltage range of 600 V or higher.
