1.   Due to loose connection, inverter detect arc in DC circuit.


2.   Check DC connection tightness and ensure crimping is proper done with crimp tool.


3.   PV Panels are cracked or damaged.


4.   Please ensure that DC strings polarity also should be proper.


5.   Please  check the  VOC  of  all  of the  PV  strings  (Voltage  should  check  from  connector  end  after disconnect string from inverter).


6. Use a multi-meter to check the voltages between PV+ and earth, PV- and earth of all the PV strings. It should be decreasing from values between 5% and 95% of single PV module Voc. If voltage stuck on above single module VOC or in decreasing condition if voltage getting increase that means there is some fault with that strings.


7.   Improper stripping length can result in wire insulation being captured in terminals.


8.   If system is three phase (Check AC side voltage Phase to Phase, phase to neutral and neutral to earthing.) Always check reading from inverter AC gland end.


9.   If system is single phase (Check AC side voltage Phase to neutral, phase to earthing and neutral to earthing.) Always check reading from inverter AC gland end.


10. Take complete reading of information menu like DC1, DC2, DC3, DC4 then VA, VB, VC or VGrid then Status (Error) and Total energy.


11. Take reading from advance info Alarm messages, version, running messages, warning messages.


12. Take ACDB, DCDB close and clear photo, inverter serial no. which is stick on inverter body and inverter complete installation photo.
