This DC contactor event is written to the inverter event log. The main failure mode the sources report is a contactor that stays closed when the inverter tells it to open. For this fault, the manual says an authorized service provider may need to inspect and service the inverter. In battery storage commissioning, each contactor is tested on its own: open the DC disconnect, close one stack at a time, and check that the contactor reports closed. In the same test, the other stacks should show the DC bus voltage within plus or minus 10 V.
