Error 18

Inverter Output Short Circuit

Growatt SPF
high Severity
Root Cause:

High surge load (like heavy motor/AC startup) or wiring short in main DB.

Field Solution:

Isolate household sub-breakers one by one to find faulted circuit.

Alarm 2064

Device Abnormal (Internal Temperature High)

Huawei SUN2000
medium Severity
Root Cause:

Inverter installed in direct sunlight or cooling fins obstructed by dust.

Field Solution:

Install shade canopy over inverter and clean heatsink aluminum fins.

F01

DC Polarity Reverse / Bus Overvoltage

Inverex Nitrox
high Severity
Root Cause:

DC string reverse connection or sudden solar surge spike.

Field Solution:

Turn off DC isolator switch. Verify string voltage with multimeter before reconnecting.

F52

CT Sensor / Meter Communication Failure

Inverex Nitrox
medium Severity
Root Cause:

RS485 communication cable disconnected between inverter and zero-export smart meter.

Field Solution:

Check twisted pair polarity (A+ and B-) on COM port pin 5 and pin 6.

Fault 09

Bus Soft Start Failed

Knox Krypton
critical Severity
Root Cause:

Internal DC pre-charge relay did not engage or battery voltage is under 42V.

Field Solution:

Reboot inverter from AC and Battery simultaneously. Verify battery state of charge.

AL-01

Grid Over-Voltage (OV-G-V01)

Solis Inverters
medium Severity
Root Cause:

Utility grid voltage exceeded upper protection threshold (265V+).

Field Solution:

Verify grid voltage with multimeter across AC terminals. Adjust DISCO grid tolerance parameters if permitted.
