Trouble Shooting & Error List

The failures mainly divided into 5 categories, for each category, the behavior is different:

Code Description Trouble shooting
E000 Internal communication fault1 Restart inverter, if the error still

exist, contact us (DSP&M3)
E002| Bat On Mos Fail| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us (DSP&M3)
E003| CT Fail| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us (DSP&M3)
E008| CAN communication error in Parallel System| Check CAN cable connection is connected to the right COM port
E009| No master in parallel system| Check parallel setting for master/Slave part, there should be one master in the system
E010| Multi master in parallel system| Check parallel setting for master/Slave part, there should be one master in the system
E011| AC inconsistent in parallel system| Check if AC Connection is same for all inverters in parallel system
E012| UPS output short circuit| Check if the load is short circuit, try to turn off the load and restart inverter
E013| UPS reserve current| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us
E015| Phase Error in three phase parallel system| Check if the AC connection is right for three phase system, there should one at least one inverter in each phase
E016| Relay fault| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us
E017| Internal communication fault2| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us (DSP&M8)
E018| Internal communication fault3| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us (DSP&M3)
E019| Bus voltage high| Check if PV input voltage is higher than 480V
E020| EPS connection fault| Check if EPS and AC connection is in wrong terminal
E021| PV voltage high| Check PV input connection and if PV input voltage is higher than 480V
E022| Over current internal| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us
E024| PV short| Check PV connection

E025

|

Temperature over range

| The internal temperature of inverter is too high,

turn off the inverter for 10minutes, restart the inverter, if the error still exist, contact us

E026| Internal Fault| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us (Bus sample)
E031| Internal communication fault4| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us (DSP&M8)
Code| Description| Trouble shooting

W000

|

Communication failure with battery

| Check if you have choose the right battery brand and communication cable is right, if the warning still exist, contact us

W001

| Battery temperature high| Check battery temperature sensor is right connected and the battery temperature is not too high
W002| Battery temperature low| Check battery temperature sensor is right connected and the battery temperature is not too low

W004

|

Battery failure

| Inverter get battery fault info from battery BMS, restart battery, if the warning  still  exist, contact us or battery manufacture
W008| Software mismatch| Please contact Luxpower for firmware update
W009| Fan Stuck| Check if the fan is OK
W012| Bat On Mos| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us
W013| Over temperature| The temperature is a little bit high inside inverter
W018| AC Frequency out of range| Check AC frequency is in range
W025| Battery voltage high| Check if battery voltage is in normal range
W026| Battery voltage low| Check if battery voltage is in normal range, need to charge the battery if battery voltage is low

W027

| Battery open| Check if there is output from the battery and battery connection with inverter is OK
W028| EPS Over load| Check if EPS load is too high
W029| EPS voltage high| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us
W031| EPS DCV high| Restart inverter, if the error still exist, contact us
