Axpert Warning 16 warning: High AC input during start-up

Keep an eye on it
Urgency: medium

What it means

The AC input voltage was too high while the inverter was starting. If it keeps happening, an installer should check the supply and settings.

Likely causes

  • High grid or generator voltage

What you can safely check

  1. Check whether load-shedding or a municipal outage is affecting your area.
  2. If it keeps coming back, stop and call a qualified installer.

When to call a pro

If it doesn't clear on its own, happens often, or comes with burning smells, heat or noise, call a qualified installer.

Solar systems carry dangerous voltages. Only do the safe checks listed. If unsure, call a pro.
