Status

Also known as
IGBT Sat

On FIMER/ABB string inverters, power switch saturation is reported as error E007 'IGBT Sat' and the yellow LED lights. The alarm means that one of the inverter's active switching devices (the IGBTs) went into saturation. After the error appears, the inverter tries to go back to normal operation by itself. If the code shows up only now and then, the likely cause is a sudden change in grid voltage or input voltage, and the inverter itself is not faulty. If the code keeps coming back, suspect an internal fault in the inverter and contact the manufacturer's customer assistance.
