What it means

The manual says: PV Input Short Circuit.

Likely causes:

  • Short circuit on PV input.

Is it safe?

Switch the inverter off at its isolator and call an engineer.

Does the inverter stop?Yes
SeverityFault — needs a manual reset once the cause is fixed
Engineer needed?Yes

The inverter stops until the fault clears or is reset.

Resetting itself: disconnect PV via DC isolator, reboot, reconnect.

Manual reset: Reboot libbi controller/inverter per myenergi article.

What you can check

  • myenergi's table lists: use the DC isolator to disconnect PV safely, reboot, reconnect. Only operate the DC isolator if it is the external rotary switch your installer showed you; if the code returns, leave PV isolated and call the installer.

What the engineer will check

  • INSTALLER ONLY: inspect PV strings and wiring for shorts.

Who to ask for: MCS battery installer / electrician trained on myenergi libbi.

Certification: MCS battery installer (MIS 3012) or competent electrician trained on the product; IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems.
