What it means

AC firmware over currentFirmware-level AC over-current protection tripped.

Cause: The AC output current exceeded the firmware limit; the internal AC sensor, its detection circuit on the control board, or a connection wire may be loose.

How to fix it

  1. Check the internal AC sensor, its detection circuit on the control board and the connection wiring
  2. Restart the inverter; if the error still exists, contact your installer or Deye service.

What it means

AC firmware over currentAC current exceeded the firmware (software) over-current limit.

Cause: The internal AC sensor or detection circuit on the control board, or its connection wire, may be loose and giving an over-current reading, or the AC current genuinely exceeded the software limit.

How to fix it

Restart the inverter; if the error still exists, contact your installer or Deye service.

What it means

AC Overcurrent (Software)AC_OverCurr_SW_Failure - AC side overcurrent fault detected by software.

Cause: The AC-side current exceeded the software protection limit, typically because the backup load power and common load power are beyond the allowed range.

How to fix it

  1. Check whether the backup load power and common load power are within the range
  2. Restart and check whether it is normal.

GB-A HV Battery

BatteryFault

Also applies to:GB-A

What it means

ALARM_ID_DSG_OVER_CUR_LEV_2Discharge current fault.

Cause: Discharge current exceeded the level-2 limit - the load or PCS demand is above the battery's rated discharge current.

How to fix it

  1. Reduce the load or the PCS discharge-current limit, then restart.
  2. Contact Deye support if it recurs within rating.
