System Maintenance 9.1 Routine Maintenance 9.1.1 Cleaning Inverter ● Before any operation, please disconnect the DC switch and AC switch, and wait for at least 5 minutes until internal capacitance DANGER discharge completely. 1) Check the ambient temperature and dust of the inverter, clean the inverter when necessary. 2)...
Do not use the air pump cleaning fan, which may cause fan damage. WARNING When the Growatt Max series inverter work in high temperature environment, good ventilation and heat dissipation can effectively reduce the chance of load derating . Inverter equipped with internal cooling fans, when the internal temperature is too high, the fans work in to reduce the internal temperature.
4) Tidy up the wire; 5.Install the fan, fan guard fixed and the inverter again. 9.2 Trouble Shooting ● Work on the Growatt Max must be carried out by qualified personnel. ●Normally grounded conductors may be ungrounded DANGER and energized when a PV isolation low is indicated.
Typically, the error code can be cleared once the cause or fault is removed. Some of error code as table shows below, may indicate a fatal error and require you to contact the supplier or Growatt for help.
