Learn about SMA Sunny Boy Error Code 64, its meaning, causes, and solutions for troubleshooting.
Error Code 64 indicates a self-diagnosis failure in the SMA Sunny Boy inverter. This can affect the inverter's performance and requires troubleshooting.
To resolve Error Code 64, check the inverter's connections and settings. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact technical support.
Error 64 indicates that the inverter's self-diagnosis function has failed, often related to issues in the electrical system. This could occur due to ground fault detection mechanisms that monitor insulation resistance (RISO) values. If the inverter detects that insulation resistance has fallen below acceptable levels, it may trigger this fault to prevent potential electric shock or equipment damage. The inverter continuously monitors parameters such as grid frequency limits and voltage levels. If any of these parameters exceed specified thresholds, a fault condition will be initiated to protect both the inverter and the solar array.
When the SMA Sunny Boy inverter triggers error 64, users may observe the inverter's LED indicator flashing in a specific pattern, typically signaling a fault condition. Additionally, monitoring apps may display alerts indicating that self-diagnosis has failed, and there may be a noticeable drop in energy production from the solar array.
To prevent future occurrences of error 64, regularly inspect the solar array and inverter for signs of wear or damage. Ensure that all connections are secure and that the system adheres to NEC standards. Schedule routine maintenance checks to perform insulation resistance testing and monitor system performance.
