IVGM5KL-P1G1

InverterFault

Also applies to:IVGM6KL-P1G1IVGM7K6L-P1G1IVGM8KL-P1G1

What it means

Radiator over-temperature derating alarmThe inverter will reduce power if the heat sink temperature is too high.

Cause: The heat-sink temperature has climbed to the derating threshold, so the inverter reduces output power to hold it there — poor ventilation or high ambient temperature is the usual reason.

How to fix it

Improve ventilation; reduce ambient temperature.

T-REX-50KHP3G01

InverterFault

What it means

Inverter relay open circuit faultInverter 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.
