If the grid voltage lies within the tolerance range, yet this error is still being displayed, contact the SMA Serviceline. Grid undervoltage fast The effective value of the grid voltage has fallen below the lower minimum grid voltage level for the set triggering time.
Page 45
If the grid voltage is continually within the acceptable range, and this error is still displayed, contact the SMA Serviceline. Voltage increase protection The effective value of the grid voltage is above the permitted threshold for a specified period of time (country parameters, e.g., 10 minutes).

3502 Ground fault detected Ground fault detected 3503 Overcurrent Ground fuse Too much current at the SMA Plug-in Grounding DC overcurrent An overcurrent condition occurs on the DC side of the inverter and it switches off. Corrective measures: • If this event recurs frequently, check the PV generator design and connection.
Page 48
• If this event recurs at medium irradiation, check the PV plant design and correct the connection of the PV generator. Grounding error The polarity of the SMA Plug-in Grounding does not correspond to the polarity set at the inverter. Corrective measures: • Check polarity of SMA Plug-in Grounding.
