33Fault

Felicity inverter error 33 (F33)

Bus soft start fail

Also displayed as F33 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

Bus soft start fail

Cause: The DC bus failed to precharge during the soft-start sequence: failed internal components.

How to fix it

  1. Internal components failed.
  2. Restart the unit, if the error persists, contact the repair center.

IVGM5KL-P1G1

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVGM6KL-P1G1IVGM7K6L-P1G1IVGM8KL-P1G1

What it means

Grid Over Voltage AlarmGrid voltage is too high, check if the grid voltage is within the normal range.

Cause: The grid voltage measured at the AC terminals is above the inverter's permitted operating window, so it alarms and holds off grid-tied operation until the voltage returns to range.

How to fix it

Check if the grid voltage is within the normal range.

What it means

Bus soft start failedInternal components failed. Bus soft start failed.

Cause: Internal components failed — the DC bus could not be brought up to its working voltage during the soft-start ramp.

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 LLC circuit

Cause: The LLC resonant converter (the isolated DC link inside the unit) drew current above its protection limit.

How to fix it

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

T-REX-50KHP3G01

InverterFault

What it means

Battery 2 SOC Low faultBattery 2 SOC is too low, the battery should be charged.

Cause: Battery 2's state of charge has dropped below the protection threshold — the pack has too little usable energy left and must be charged.

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.
