10min Volt Fault on a Fox ESS H1 G2 single-phase hybrid inverter: The grid voltage is out of range for the last 10 Minutes

Short answer

On a Fox ESS inverter, 10min Volt Fault means: The grid voltage is out of range for the last 10 Minutes. The inverter stops until the fault clears or is reset.

What it means

The manual says: The grid voltage is out of range for the last 10 Minutes.

Part involved: 10-minute average voltage protection.

When it shows: 10-minute rolling average voltage exceeds limit.

Likely causes:

  • 10-minute average grid voltage above the limit (common on high-voltage rural/solar-saturated feeders).

Is it safe?

Does the inverter stop?Yes
SeverityFault — clears by itself when the condition goes

The inverter stops until the fault clears or is reset.

Resetting itself: yes.

Manual reset: System reconnects automatically when the utility is back to normal.

What you can check

  • Read the full code and message on the inverter screen or in the FoxCloud app and note the date/time for your installer.
  • Check the inverter's AC isolator next to the inverter and the solar/battery breaker in the consumer unit are ON (do not reset a breaker that trips again - call your installer).
  • If it recurs on sunny days, ask your installer to log voltage - persistent high voltage is a network operator (DNO) matter.

What the engineer will check

  • Check voltage rise on AC cable run; confirm 10-min average setting per G98/G99; request DNO voltage investigation.

Who to ask for: Installer, with DNO (network operator) if grid supply is at fault.

Certification: None for homeowner checks; any grid-protection setting change needs installer and DNO consent (G98/G99).
