DEYE inverter error 23 (F023)

AC leakage current is transient over current

Also displayed as F023 / F23 on some models.

Faultthe inverter cuts its output and the red LED stays solid until the fault is cleared.

The exact meaning depends on your model:

What it means

AC leakage current is transient over currentThe AC leakage current rose above 30 mA suddenly.

Cause: The leakage current jumped above 30 mA suddenly, from a real transient leakage path on the DC supply or solar panels or from a faulty leakage current sensor or its circuit.

How to fix it

  1. Check whether the DC power supply and the solar panels are OK, then check that the 'Test data' -> 'diL' value is about 40, then check the leakage current sensor and its circuit (checking test data requires the big LCD)
  2. Restart the inverter; if the fault still exists, contact your installer or Deye service.

What it means

AC leakage current is transient over currentLeakage current fault: the AC leakage (residual) current is transiently over the limit.

Cause: Excess leakage current on the AC side, typically from a poor PV side cable ground connection.

How to fix it

  1. Check the PV side cable ground connection and restart the system 2-3 times.
  2. If the fault still exists, contact Deye for help.

GB-A HV Battery

BatteryFault

Also applies to:GB-A

What it means

ALARM_ID_HEAT_RELAY_ADHESIONThe heating relay contacts are stuck ('glued').

Cause: The heating relay contacts are welded closed, so the heating film can no longer be switched off reliably.

How to fix it

Switch the battery off to prevent uncontrolled heating and contact Deye support.

Frequently asked questions

What does error 23 mean on a DEYE inverter?
It depends on the model — 13 devices use code 23. On the SUN G01P3-EU-BM8 Series it means: AC leakage current is transient over current. The card for each model on this page gives its exact meaning and fix.
Is error 23 a fault or a warning?
23 is a fault code: the inverter cuts its output and the red LED stays solid until it is cleared.
How do I clear or fix error 23?
1. Check whether the DC power supply and the solar panels are OK, then check that the 'Test data' -> 'diL' value is about 40, then check the leakage current sensor and its circuit (checking test data requires the big LCD). The exact steps for each affected model are listed on this page.
