Axpert Fault 05 fault: Output short circuit or converter over-temperature
Safe to check yourself
Urgency: medium
What it means
Either something on the output shorted, or the inverter's converter got too hot. Remove faulty appliances and improve airflow.
Likely causes
- Faulty appliance
- Blocked vents or hot room
What you can safely check
- Unplug the appliance that was running when it tripped, and any recently added appliances, then restart.
- Make sure the vents around the unit are clear and nothing is stacked against it.
- If it keeps coming back, stop and call a qualified installer.
When to call a pro
If the safe checks don't clear it, or it keeps coming back, call a qualified installer.
Solar systems carry dangerous voltages. Only do the safe checks listed. If unsure, call a pro.
