PRELIMINARY DRAFT
PRO-Verter Inverter Troubleshooting
Most faults (inverter, AGS, and BMK) also alternate with the inverter/charger status. The FAULT LED
comes on and a fault status is displayed by the LCD User Interface when an abnormal condition is
detected. Use the information in this section to identify and correct the issue.
Clearing Faults
Many fault statuses clear automatically after the active fault condition is corrected. When some faults
are cleared from the fault history, the Gen Run relay may open temporarily which shuts down the
generator. To resume normal operation ensure that the PRO-Verter is set to autostart the generator
(CTRL>03E), then press and release, the INVERTER ON/OFF button on the User Interface. Finally, if
the fault will not clear, a PRO-Verter reset or power reset may be required.
AC Overload
Inverter has faulted and stopped providing power to the load.
This fault message displays when the AC load on the PRO-Verter output has exceeded the inverter’s
AC current protection limits. This fault may occur because the connected AC loads are larger than
the inverter’s output capacity due to unauthorized equipment being used on the platform, surge
loads are present, there is a wiring short on the output, or the output wires are incorrectly installed.
Solution
If the overload condition lasts for less than 10 seconds, the fault automatically clears, and the unit
restarts and resumes operation. However, if the overload occurs for more than 10 seconds, the unit
shuts down and the fault will require a manual restart. After the AC loads are reduced, the inverter
can be restarted after a manual restart (press the INVERTER button to restore inverter function).
Breaker Tripped
The AC input breaker on the PRO-Verter has opened due to excess current flow through the inverter
to the AC loads. While in Charge mode, the inverter’s AC input breaker could nuisance trip if the
loads on the inverter’s output exceeds the current rating of the inverter’s input circuit breaker.
Solution
After reducing the AC loads, push in the inverter’s AC input circuit breaker to reset and resume
operation.
