Learn about GoodWe Error Code 14, its meaning, causes, and solutions for inverter over current issues.
GoodWe Error Code 14 indicates an over current condition in the inverter. This can lead to performance issues and requires immediate attention.
To troubleshoot Error Code 14, check the inverter's current settings and ensure they are within the manufacturer's specifications. Inspect the wiring for any faults.
Error 14 indicates an overcurrent condition detected by the inverter. This fault typically occurs when the output current exceeds the inverter's rated capacity, triggering internal protection mechanisms to prevent damage. The inverter continuously monitors the output current against predefined limits based on its specifications. If the current exceeds these limits due to various factors, the inverter will shut down to protect itself and the connected system components. This overcurrent condition can arise from improper wiring, excessive input from the solar array, or faults within the inverter's circuitry.
Users may notice the inverter displaying an error 14 on the screen, accompanied by a red LED indicator flashing. The monitoring app may alert the user to a production drop or indicate that the inverter is offline. Additionally, real-time monitoring may show a sudden decrease in power output, which is significantly lower than expected based on solar irradiance conditions.
To prevent future occurrences of error 14, ensure regular maintenance of the solar array and inverter. Conduct periodic inspections for shading, debris, or physical damage to the modules and wiring. Verify that the inverter firmware is up to date and that the system complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Additionally, ensure that the inverter is properly sized for the array and operates within its rated limits under varying environmental conditions.
