Also known as
AFCI Test Pass!

A pass result means the inverter ran its arc fault self-test and found the internal arc detection circuit working. The test is started by hand: set the AFCI self-test mode in the inverter menu from disabled to enabled. On some inverters, a pass shows the message AFCI Test Pass! on the display, and then the inverter shuts down. After a pass, the mode setting goes back to disabled by itself. The inverter restarts and shows normal operation again. The short shutdown after a pass is expected and is not a fault. A failed self-test shows up as an error event instead, such as an interference level that is too high or too low. Its cause has to be found by the manufacturer's service.
