    4 Errors, Disturbances, Warnings SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Errors, Disturbances, Warnings Errors, disturbances and warnings are shown in the display and start in the first line with the word "Error", "Disturbance" or "Warning". In the second line of the display, the cause of the error, disturbance or warning is shown.
  • Page 11 SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Errors, Disturbances, Warnings Message Cause and corrective measures ACVtgRPro The ten-minute average line voltage is no longer within the permissi- ble range. The line voltage or grid impedance at the connection point is too high. The inverter disconnects from the utility grid to com- ply with the power quality.
  • Page 12 4 Errors, Disturbances, Warnings SMA Solar Technology AG Message Cause and corrective measures Fault current The inverter has detected a change in the differential current. A change in the differential current can be caused by a ground fault, dI-Srr residual current or a malfunction. The inverter disconnects from the utility grid.
  • Page 13 SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Errors, Disturbances, Warnings Message Cause and corrective measures Iac-DC_Offs-Srr Excessive DC current has been detected during feed-in operation. Iac-DC_Offs-Bfr Corrective measures: • Ensure that the grid conditions are complied with. • If this message is displayed frequently or recurrently, contact the SMA Service Line.
  • Page 14 4 Errors, Disturbances, Warnings SMA Solar Technology AG Message Cause and corrective measures STM Timeout Internal program run disturbance Corrective measures: • If this message is displayed frequently, contact the SMA Service Line. Vac-Bfr The line voltage is no longer within the permissible range. The in- verter has disconnected from the utility grid for safety reasons.
  • Page 15 SMA Solar Technology AG 4 Errors, Disturbances, Warnings Message Cause and corrective measures Vinternal The internal hardware monitoring system has detected an overvolt- age in the DC link of the inverter. Corrective measures: • If this message is displayed frequently, contact the SMA Service Line.
  • Page 16: Checking The Ess For Wear

    5 Checking the ESS for Wear SMA Solar Technology AG 5 Checking the ESS for Wear The ESS is an optional device. Depending on the design of the ESS, you can recognize wear either on the metal mounting tabs or on the plastic of the ESS.

    SMA Solar Technology AG 6 Red LED is Glowing Continuously 6 Red LED is Glowing Continuously 6.1 Procedure 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.
  • Page 18 6 Red LED is Glowing Continuously SMA Solar Technology AG ☑ The sum of the two voltages to ground potential is approximately equal to the voltage between the positive and negative terminals. • If a ground fault is present, determine the location of the ground fault via the ratio of the two measured voltages and eliminate the ground fault.
  • Page 19 SMA Solar Technology AG 6 Red LED is Glowing Continuously Calculating the insulation resistance The total resistance of the PV system to be expected or of an individual string can be calculated using the following formula: total The exact insulation resistance of a PV module can be obtained from the module manufacturer or the datasheet.
