Decoded

Reports high leakage current, ground fault alarm or trip; look at PV array; confirm with insulation resistance testing; do: contact system installer, contact manufacturer service.

What can be behind High leakage current

Failure modes that present as the reported condition, and the tests that tell them apart.

What can be behind Ground fault alarm or trip

Failure modes that present as the reported condition, and the tests that tell them apart.
