What to do if my Eaton Inverter has no AC output and all LEDs are off?
First, check if all input cables are firmly connected to the power source and that the power source is switched on and has sufficient power. Also, verify that all inserted inverter modules are the same model.
Why is the red LED on my Eaton Inverter on and there is no AC output?
The red LED and lack of AC output could indicate several issues. Check that the input wiring has correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). Ensure the output voltage is within the operating range of your connected device. Also, verify that the inverter output is not shorted by turning off the input power source to remove any short circuits. Finally, negative power protection could be the cause. For multi-shelf systems, remove any jumper on the JP2 connector. For single-shelf systems, ensure there is a jumper on the JP2 connector.
What to do if my Eaton INV-STS-050 has no AC output and both yellow and red LEDs are on?
This usually means the load exceeds 125% of the inverter's capacity. Reduce the load to below 100% of the total power rating.
What does it mean if the red LED is flashing fast on my Eaton INV-STS-050 Inverter?
A rapidly flashing red LED can indicate that the inverter failed to soft start or that the inverter temperature is above the limit. Try rebooting the inverter system by switching the input power source off and on. If that doesn't work, let the inverter idle to cool down for a few minutes.
What does it mean if the yellow LED is on while AC output exists on my Eaton Inverter?
If the yellow LED is illuminated while AC output is present, it signifies that the load is over 100% but below 125% of its total power rating. Reduce the load to below 100%.
Why is the yellow LED flashing on my Eaton INV-STS-050 Inverter when AC output exists?
A flashing yellow LED during AC output suggests that the input voltage is outside the operating range. Make sure the input voltage is between 45V and 58V, and check the connection to the battery or DC source.
What does it mean when the Eaton INV-STS-050 continuously delivers power, but the red LED is flashing slowly?
A slowly flashing red LED while the inverter is delivering power can point to an EEPROM failure or a fan failure. Try rebooting the inverter system by switching the input power source off and on. If the fan is blocked, clear the obstruction. If the fan is not working, the inverter may require servicing.
How to troubleshoot an Eaton Inverter module that cannot be properly inserted?
Ensure that you are not trying to insert an STS module into the inverter shelf, as the inverter shelf only holds inverter modules. Also, verify that the inverter module is the correct model. All inverters must be the same model.
What does it mean if the yellow LED is on and there is no AC output from my Eaton Inverter?
The absence of AC output with a lit yellow LED indicates that both the inverter and the utility AC source are in an abnormal state. Check both the AC mains and the inverter output.
What does it mean if the green LED is on and the red LED flashes at 1Hz on my Eaton Inverter, while the AC output is normal?
This indicates an EEPROM fault, meaning the EEPROM cannot correctly write or read data, or a CAN communication error. Check the connection of CAN signal cables. The EEPROM fault will not influence the STS AC output and the alert will turn off automatically after 10 seconds.
