QS-008 · Insulation, earth & leakage faults

Fronius state 475 / 502 insulation too low after rain. What's the procedure?

The short answer
Note when it happens, read the exact code in Solar.web; the installer measures string insulation and repairs.

Plain explanation

From the Fronius manual for the Primo/Symo SnapINverter: Note whether it appears after rain or in the morning (common trigger). Check Solar.web for the exact state code and time. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.

  2. Check Solar.web for the exact state code and time
  3. Do not touch DC cables yourself
