Decoded

Reports operation inhibited; may indicate arc fault; look at DC cable, DC connector; confirm with visual inspection; do: DC wiring check.

What can be behind Operation inhibited

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

c7 drafted · lead DC wiring check

review note: support check: partial - Inspecting DC conductors and connectors for damage is similar to a wiring check, but only partly matches.

has_event_class

c8 drafted · lead Fault (device stops or needs intervention)

review note: support check: partial - Stops feed-in into operation inhibition suggests a fault, but the classification isn't explicitly stated; it is implied by stopping the device.
