Canadian Solar Fault Codes

Inverters

Description

Over temperature

Solution

1. Check heatsink for obstructions/ventilation.
2. Check the ambient temperature around the inverter.

Description

High DC Input Voltage

Solution

1. Disconnect the DC switch, remove the DC connector, measure the voltage of the PV string, and check if it exceeds the input-voltage specification of the inverter.
2. If exceed the specification, re-layout the PV module string.
3. If not exceed the specification, while the error still exits, please contact Customer Service.

Description

Unconnected grid

Solution

1. Turn off DC switch, remove AC connector, measure the voltage between
fire line and the zero line, then check if it is consistent with the
grid-connected specification of inverter.
2. Inconsistent, check if the AC main switch is connected, check if the power
supply is normal working.
3. Consistent, connect the AC connector, turn on the DC Switch.
4. If error message still exists, contact Customer service.

Description

Inverter grid-connected relay fault

Solution

Contact Customer service.

Description

Grid frequency fault

Solution

1. If power grid frequency returns to normal, the inverter will restore the grid connection automatically.
2. If error message still exists, contact Customer service.

Description

Grid voltage fault

Solution

1. Turn off DC switch, remove AC connector, measure the voltage between fire line and the zero line, then check if it is consistent with the grid-connected specification of inverter. 

2. Inconsistent, check the grid layout.
3. Consistent, connect the AC connector, turn on DC Switch, inverter will restore the grid connection automatically.
4. If error message still exists, contact Customer service.

Description

DC component over range

Solution

1. Restart inverter.
2. If error message still exists, contact Customer service.

Description

Current sensor fault

Solution

1. Wait until inverter restores normal work.
