Learn about GoodWe Error Code 17, its meaning, causes, and solutions for grid voltage abnormalities.
Error Code 17 indicates an abnormal grid voltage detected by the inverter. This can lead to operational issues and requires immediate attention.
To troubleshoot grid voltage issues, check the voltage levels at the inverter and ensure they are within the specified range. Consult your local utility for any grid-related problems.
The GoodWe inverter is designed to operate within specific voltage and frequency parameters as outlined in the AS4777 standard. When the inverter detects that the grid voltage is outside these parameters, it triggers Error 17 to prevent damage to the system. The inverter continuously monitors grid voltage through its sensing circuits. If the voltage exceeds or falls below the acceptable limits, this indicates a potential issue with the utility grid or the inverter's configuration, prompting the fault code activation.
When the GoodWe inverter triggers Error 17, users may notice the inverter display flashing a specific LED pattern indicating a fault. In addition, the monitoring app will alert the user of a grid voltage abnormality. Users may also observe a significant drop in energy production, as the inverter may shut down to protect itself from potential damage due to unstable grid conditions.
Always ensure that any troubleshooting or maintenance work on the inverter is performed by a licensed electrician or certified solar installer to guarantee safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
To avoid encountering Error 17 in the future, regularly inspect and maintain all electrical connections, ensuring they are tight and free of corrosion. Schedule routine checks of the inverter firmware and update as necessary. Additionally, monitor local utility grid conditions and report any irregularities to the utility provider promptly.
