QS-070 · Backup & off-grid output

Huawei backup output switches off in a power cut with alarm 2077 Off-grid Output Overload. Why?

The short answer
Backup loads exceed rated power or there is a short on a backup circuit. Check for shorts, then cut loads.

Plain explanation

From the Huawei manual for the SUN2000 + Backup Box/SmartGuard: Check there is no short circuit on backup circuits (installer if unsure). Reduce backup loads below the rated power. The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Owners can do the app and visual checks; any work on the wiring is for the installer.

Steps from the source

  1. Check there is no short circuit on backup circuits (installer if unsure)
  2. Reduce backup loads below the rated power
  3. Switch heavy loads off when sun/battery are low
  4. Clear the alarm in the app
