Also known as
Phase lock loop failure, PLL error

A phase lock loop error is an inverter warning that appears when the inverter cannot synchronize with the grid. While the warning is active, power production is temporarily affected. A common cause is incorrect AC phase rotation: these inverters need an A-B-C positive sequence, and an A-C-B negative sequence keeps them from running. If this error appears, or if the frequency or voltage readings look wrong, check the phase rotation. Swapping any two AC conductors reverses it. If phase rotation is correct, power cycle the inverter. If the warning does not clear, contact technical support. Other inverter families, such as the SGI XTM, report an incorrect phase sequence as a separate fault code.
