What does 'Check Varistor' mean on my SMA 10000TL Inverter?
- DDrew RoseSep 1, 2025
If your SMA Inverter displays 'Check Varistor', it indicates that at least one of the varistors is defective. Check the function of the varistors.
What does 'Check Varistor' mean on my SMA 10000TL Inverter?
If your SMA Inverter displays 'Check Varistor', it indicates that at least one of the varistors is defective. Check the function of the varistors.
Why all LEDs have gone out on my SMA Inverter?
If all three LEDs have gone out on your SMA Inverter, the inverter is switched off because the ESS is not plugged in or there is no irradiation.
What to do if my SMA Inverter displays 'dI-Bfr dI-Srr'?
If your SMA Inverter displays 'dI-Bfr dI-Srr', it means that the inverter has detected a change in the differential current. Make sure that the PV plant is insulated correctly and that there is no earth fault.
What to do if my SMA Inverter displays 'Vac-Bfr Vac-Srr'?
If your SMA Inverter displays 'Vac-Bfr Vac-Srr', it means that the mains voltage is no longer within the permissible range. Make sure that the AC cable is correctly connected and that the mains voltage is in the permissible range.
What does 'Earthfault' mean on my SMA 10000TL and how to fix it?
If your SMA Inverter displays 'Earthfault', it indicates that the electrical insulation between the PV plant and earth is defective. Make sure that the PV plant is insulated correctly.
What does ACVtgRPro mean on my SMA 10000TL?
If your SMA Inverter displays 'ACVtgRPro', the ten-minute average mains voltage is no longer within the permissible range. Check that the mains voltage at the termination point of the inverter is permanently in the permissible range. If the mains voltage is 253 V or higher, contact the network operator.
Why is my SMA 10000TL derating?
The SMA Inverter might be derating (reducing its power output) due to overheating. In this case, clean the fans. Alternatively, derating can occur if the DC input current exceeds the inverter's maximum input current; ensure that the PV plant is designed correctly.
What to do if my SMA 10000TL Inverter shows '!PV-Overvoltage! - !DISCONNECT DC!'?
If your SMA Inverter displays '!PV-Overvoltage! - !DISCONNECT DC!', this indicates overvoltage at the DC input. You should disconnect the miniature circuit-breaker, remove the ESS, and unlock and remove all DC connectors using a screwdriver. Then, verify that the DC voltage is below the inverter's maximum input voltage.
