What it means

The manual says: Grid under frequency fault.

Part involved: grid frequency.

When it shows: Frequency below limit.

Likely causes:

  • Grid frequency below range; generator frequency.

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: Check frequency; seek help.

What you can check

  • Read the full code and message on the inverter screen or in the Sunsynk Connect 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).

What the engineer will check

  • Check grid/generator frequency and AC cabling.

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).
