Applicable Systems
SUN2000
Symptoms
PV input ground fault detected. The inverter has detected insulation resistance between the PV array andground below the safety threshold. This indicates a ground fault in the PV wiring or modules.
Possible Causes
- PV cable insulation damage causing leakage to ground
- PV module frame or backsheet damage allowing moisture ingress
- Improper PV mounting: rail piercing cable insulation
- Inverter ground fault detection circuit calibration drift
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Check the equipment status and fault indicators to confirm the active fault code
Fault indicator or HMI displays code 122 as active - Step 2: Verify all electrical connections, wiring harnesses, and connector seating
All connections secure, no corrosion, loose pins, or damaged wires - Step 3: Check the system diagnostic buffer or event log for detailed fault information
Diagnostic buffer shows the specific fault cause and timestamp - Step 4: Verify power supply stability and environmental conditions
Power supply stable, environment within specifications - Step 5: Restart the equipment or power-cycle the control system
Equipment restarts and enters normal operating state - Step 6: Contact manufacturer support if the fault persists after all checks
Support provides specific troubleshooting guidance
How to Reset
To reset: 1) Identify and fix the root cause described in the fault symptoms. 2) Press RESET on the HMI or controller, or power-cycle the equipment. 3) If the fault recurs, contact manufacturer service. Caution: Document the fault code and context before resetting.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What does fault code 122 mean on the Huawei SUN2000?
Fault 122 on the Huawei SUN2000 indicates: PV input ground fault detected. The inverter has detected insulation resistance between the PV array and ground below the safety threshold. This indicates a ground fault in the PV wiring or modules. Refer to the equipment manual and manufacturer support for specific troubleshooting steps.
- Q: Can I continue operating the equipment with fault 122 active?
No. The equipment has detected a fault condition and has taken protective action (typically stopping or derating). Continuing to operate without fixing the root cause may cause further damage. Always investigate and fix the fault before resuming operation.
