Learn about Sungrow Error Code 514, its meaning, causes, and solutions for high battery temperature issues.
Error Code 514 indicates that the battery temperature is too high, which can affect performance and safety. It's crucial to address this issue promptly.
To prevent high battery temperatures, ensure proper ventilation and avoid direct sunlight exposure. Regular maintenance checks can also help monitor battery health.
The Sungrow inverter triggers fault 514 when it detects that the battery temperature exceeds the predefined limits set within its operational parameters. This is typically monitored through temperature sensors integrated into the battery management system (BMS). If the BMS identifies temperatures beyond safe thresholds, it activates protective measures to prevent damage, which may include disconnecting the battery from the inverter or limiting its charging and discharging capabilities. This protective logic is crucial to ensure the longevity and safety of the battery system.
Users may observe a fault 514 displayed on the inverter's screen, accompanied by a flashing red LED indicator. Additionally, the monitoring app may send alerts regarding battery temperature anomalies. Production metrics may show a significant drop, indicating reduced output from the solar array.
To prevent future occurrences of fault 514, ensure the system site is adequately ventilated and shielded from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect the battery and its sensors, and maintain optimal charging configurations based on manufacturer guidelines. Implement routine maintenance checks to identify potential issues before they escalate.
