Also known as
Open Phase Detected, open AC phase

Phase loss means one AC phase at the inverter output is open, and the inverter can flag it as an open phase warning event. First, use a CAT III rated multimeter to measure the AC voltage on each phase and confirm whether a phase is actually missing. If a phase is missing, check every AC fuse and breaker in the output path and look over the AC conductors for damage. If all phases measure normally, the alarm cannot be explained in the field and should be referred to the manufacturer's technical support.

c1 drafted · lead Open AC phase warning

Reported by a central inverter as a warning event (Open Phase Detected) when an open AC phase condition is detected. Troubleshooting: measure AC voltage with a CAT III multimeter, then check AC fuses or breakers and inspect AC conductors for damage; if no phase loss is found, contact technical support.

Open AC phase condition has been detected.
