12Fault

Felicity inverter error 12 (F12)

Over current happen at DCDC circuit

Also displayed as F12 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:

IVEM 6048

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVEM6048

What it means

Over current happen at DCDC circuit

Cause: Overcurrent in the DC/DC stage.

How to fix it

Restart the unit, if the error persists, contact the repair center.

IVEM8048-LV

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVEM8048

What it means

Over current happen at DC/DC circuit

Cause: The DC/DC converter stage between the battery and the internal bus drew more current than its protection limit allows.

How to fix it

Restart the unit, if the error persists, contact the repair center.

T-REX-50KHP3G01

InverterFault

What it means

PV4 reverse connection faultPv4 string positive and negative connection, check the string wiring.

Cause: The PV4 string is connected with positive and negative reversed, so the input stage blocks it until the string wiring is corrected.

How to fix it

  1. Power down the inverter, wait 5 minutes for capacitors to discharge, then restart.
  2. If the fault recurs immediately or repeatedly, record the exact code and contact your installer or the manufacturer's service line.

LUX-S-1600LG01

BatteryFault

What it means

PV2 overcurrentFault event: PV input channel 2 current exceeded its limit (max input current 30A per MPPT).

Cause: A fault has been detected in the PV input stage — usually a short, ground fault, or isolation failure between the PV array and the inverter chassis. Wet connectors, damaged cable insulation, or moisture in a junction box are common causes.

How to fix it

  1. Restart the unit.
  2. If the error persists, contact the repair center.

What it means

Soft Start FailedPre-charge / soft-start sequence failed during system power-up.

Cause: Pre-charge circuit failure, excessive inverter capacitance, or external short on output.

How to fix it

Restart, if the fault still exists, contact our engineer.
