Error Messages

101 to 103

Grid fault

The grid voltage or grid impedance at the connection point of the inverter is too high. The inverter has disconnected from the utility grid.

Corrective measures:

• Check whether the grid voltage at the connection point of the inverter is permanently in the permissible range.

  If the grid voltage is outside the permissible range due to local grid conditions, contact the grid operator. The grid operator must agree with an adjustment of the voltage at the feed-in point or with a change of the monitored operating limits.

  If the grid voltage is permanently within the permissible range and this message is still displayed, contact Service.

202 to 203

Grid fault

The utility grid has been disconnected, the AC cable is damaged or the grid voltage at the connection point of the inverter is too low. The inverter has disconnected from the utility grid.

Corrective measures:

301

Grid fault

The ten-minute average value of the grid voltage is no longer within the permissible range. The grid voltage or grid impedance at the connection point is too high. The inverter disconnects from the utility grid to maintain power quality.

Corrective measures:

• Check whether the grid voltage at the connection point of the inverter is permanently in the permissible range.

  If the grid voltage is outside the permissible range due to local grid conditions, contact the grid operator. The grid operator must agree with an adjustment of the voltage at the feed-in point or with a change of the monitored operating limits.

  If the grid voltage is permanently within the permissible range and this message is still displayed, contact Service.

302

Temperature AC voltage

Corrective measures:

• Check the grid connection for significant short-term frequency fluctuations.

501

Grid fault

The power frequency is not within the permissible range. The inverter has disconnected from the utility grid.

Corrective measures:

• If possible, check the power frequency and observe how often fluctuations occur.

3301 to 3303

Unstable operation

There is not enough power at the DC input of the inverter for stable operation. This may be caused by snow on the PV modules or insufficient irradiation. The inverter interrupts feed-in operation and can no longer connect to the utility grid.

Corrective measures:

3401 to 3402

DC overvoltage > Disconnect generator

Overvoltage at the DC input. This can destroy the inverter.

Corrective measures:

3501

Insulation resistance > Check generator

The inverter has detected a ground fault in the PV array.

Corrective measures:

• Check the PV system for ground faults ( > Checking the PV System for Ground Faults).

3601

High discharge curr. > Check generator

The leakage currents of the inverter and the PV array are too high. There is a ground fault, a residual current or a malfunction.

The inverter interrupts feed-in operation immediately after exceeding a threshold and then automatically reconnects to the utility grid. If this process happens five times a day, the inverter disconnects from the utility grid and terminates feed-in.

Corrective measures:

• Check the PV system for ground faults ( > Checking the PV System for Ground Faults).

3701

Resid.curr.too.high > Check generator

The inverter has detected a residual current due to temporary grounding of the PV array.
