- Also known as
- Event 6456, Error 6456, Precharging Circuit Defective
On SMA Sunny Central inverters, event 6456 means the circuit that pre-charges the DC link is defective. In the data log it can show up as a mismatch: the frequency of the AC voltage metering does not match the grid AC voltage. The manual lists the inverter behavior for this event as W. First check whether the inverter has the Q at night function and whether the QoDEna parameter is enabled. Next, check the pre-charging input fuses and the pre-charging feedback signal at SC20CONT terminals X14-8 and X14-9. If those checks find nothing wrong, contact SMA Service.
<!-- review notes
- sentence 4: support check: partial - u1 asks about the Q at night function and QoDEna, but its flow is garbled (a 'No' branch asks about QoDEna), so 'first check whether it has the function and whether QoDEna is enabled' is only roughly stated.
