Fault code and troubleshooting steps of SHxxRT 031-040 (037/038/039)

Applicable to: SHxxRT series

Updated over a week ago

High ambient temperature (Code 037)

Fault name

High ambient temperature (fault code: 037)

Fault type

Failure shutdown

Fault condition

The ambient temperature exceeds 78℃ (grid-connected)/74 ℃ (off-grid) for 2 seconds.

Steps and method of troubleshooting

1. Check whether the fan is normally working and free from dust. If the fan is abnormal, please clean or replace the fan.

2. The ambient temperature is 10℃ lower than the protective value for 10s.

3. Check whether the inverter power IGBT module is normal. If it is abnormal, please replace the power board.

Line-side relay fault (Code 038)

Fault name

Line-side relay fault (fault code: 038)

Fault type

Failure shutdown

Fault condition

Contact adhesion and disconnection frequently occur on the relay; There is a fault of low phase-to-ground resistance in external grid.

Steps and method of troubleshooting

1. Use a multimeter to measure the voltage to ground of inverter phases. If the voltage to ground is low, a relay fault will be reported. Check whether any external cables are broken and grounded.

2. If the voltage appears in the correct range, please replace the inverter.

Low ISO resistance (Code: 039)

Fault name

Low ISO resistance (fault code: 039)

Fault type

Failure shutdown

Fault condition

The resistance to ground is less than the set value (default value: 50kΩ).

Steps and method of troubleshooting

1. External PV panel grounding check: Remove all the PV strings connected to the inverter and use a multimeter to measure the voltage to ground of the positive and negative electrodes of the strings and determine whether there is a grounding fault of the PV panel.

2. Use proper electrical measurement device for troubleshooting.
