Fault 01: The bit 14 error problem

Problem

  • After starting the pump, the ‘Run LED’ shows green for a short time.
  • Not enough power is generated to run the submersible pump.
  • ‘Red LED’ start to display due to not enough power being generated.
  • Bit 14 error appears in the display LED. Water does not come out of the borewell.

Cause

  • “After finding the cause of this problem, I will share it”.

Possible reasons

The reasons of this problem may be one of the following:

  • Faulty cable.
  • Faulty wiring.
  • Short circuit in control unit.
  • Short circuit in micro inverter.
  • Faulty capacitor.
  • Damaged PV panels.

Fault 03: Pump stuck

Causes

  • Due to the sand and pebbles getting trapped in the submersible pump, the pump cannot spin or rotate.
  • This action prevents the uptake of water.
  • Technical fault in pump.

Troubleshooting

  • Clean your submersible pump set.
  • To troubleshoot the technical fault, contact a pump repairing service center.

Fault 04: Low voltage problem
