Installation Manual

3. Recommission the inverter (see Section 8).

11.6 Checking the Function of the Varistors

If the inverter displays event number

7401

, one of the varistors is probably defective. Check the

function of each varistor as described below.

Example: Location of the earth fault

The example shows an earth fault between the second and third PV module.

Destruction of the inverter due to overvoltage

If varistors are missing, the inverter is no longer protected against overvoltage.

• Do not operate the inverter without varistors in plants with a high risk of overvoltages.
• Do not recommission the inverter until the defective varistors have been replaced.

Destruction of the measuring device due to overvoltage

• Only use measuring devices with a DC input voltage range up to 1,000 V.
