Warning Troubleshooting 

Message Definition 

Possible 

Remedy 

Fan Failure 

 

The inverter’s internal cooling fan is not 
operating properly.  Lack of cooling may result 
in derated inverter output wattage. 

Turn the battery disconnect off, and then on, to 
determine if the fan self-tests.  After this test, 
contact OutBack Technical Support for the next 
step.

 13

  (The next step will depend on the results 

of the test.)   

NOTE:  

The system can continue to operate if the 

inverter can be run at reasonable levels.  External 
cooling may also be applied. 

Transformer

  

(in 

Temps

 screen)

 

Displays the ambient temperature around the 
inverter’s transformer.

 

In the MATE3, these values are given in degrees 
Celsius. 
 
If any reading does not seem to reflect the 
inverter’s temperature or conditions, contact 
OutBack Technical Support.

Output FETs  

(in 

Temps

 screen)

 

Displays the temperature of the FETs  
(Field Effect Transistors) and heat sink.

 

Capacitors  

(in 

Temps

 screen)

 

Displays the temperature of the inverter’s 
ripple capacitors.

 

Temperatures   

As shown in Table 9, the 

Inverter Warnings 

screen has an 

Inverter Temps

 selection for three internal 

temperature readings.  These readings can affect inverter operations in high temperatures.  Table 10 
shows the temperature limits used by each sensor and the effects on inverter operations.

GT Warnings  

 

 

This screen is also available under 

Inverter Warnings

. The GT (grid-tie) warnings in Table 11 indicate 

why a grid-interactive inverter has stopped selling.  These warnings are caused when the grid exceeds 
one of the settings in the 

Grid Interface Protection

 menu.  A GT warning may accompany a 

Disconnect message (see Table 12) or a regular warning (see Table 9), depending on conditions. 

Table 11
