What it means

Radiator overtemperature derating alarmThe radiator temperature is too high, and the inverter reduces the power.

Cause: Inverter internal temperature has exceeded the safe operating threshold. Causes include high ambient temperature, blocked cooling vents, failed cooling fan, or installation in direct sunlight.

How to fix it

  1. Power down the inverter and let it cool.
  2. Inspect cooling vents and fan inlets for dust, leaves, or insect nests — clean with compressed air.
  3. Confirm the inverter is installed in a shaded, ventilated location with the manufacturer's required clearances on all sides.
  4. If the fan does not spin on restart, fan replacement is required.
