26Fault

Felicity inverter error 26 (F26)

Inverter voltage soft start fail

Also displayed as F26 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:

IVCM1012 PRO

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVCM2024 PROIVCM3024 PRO

What it means

Inverter voltage soft start failThe soft start of the inverter voltage fails.

Cause: The inverter output voltage failed to ramp up during its soft-start sequence. This is an internal component fault in the inverter stage.

How to fix it

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

What it means

Invert soft start failedInternal components failed. Invert soft start failed.

Cause: Internal components failed — the inverter stage could not complete its soft-start ramp to the working voltage.

IVEM8048-II

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVEM12048-IIIVEM 8K-12K Series II

What it means

Sharing current sensor failed

Cause: Current-sharing sensor failure (parallel system).

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

Sharing current sensor failed

Cause: The current-sharing sensor used to balance paralleled units returned an out-of-range or implausible reading, so the inverter can no longer verify how load current is being shared.

How to fix it

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

T-REX-50KHP3G01

InverterFault

What it means

Battery 1 relay open circuit faultBattery 1 relay not closing properly causing open circuit, shutdown and restart.

Cause: A safety relay inside the inverter has failed self-test or is stuck. The inverter is designed to refuse grid connection in this state, so this is not an issue you can clear with restart cycles.

How to fix it

  1. This requires service — the relay assembly is not user-replaceable.
  2. Record the exact fault code and contact your installer or the manufacturer's service line.
  3. Do not bypass any safety interlock.
