AI L1 Over Voltage
Schneider Electric · XW Pro NA Operation Guide
What does F27 mean?
This fault indicates an L1 over-voltage condition (135 VAC) detected by the anti-islanding protection, triggering a fast disconnect. This mechanism ensures the inverter disconnects from an unstable grid, protecting both the inverter and grid from potential damage due to excessive voltage.
Common Causes
- Grid L1-Neutral voltage exceeding 135 VAC due to a grid transient, voltage surge, or utility grid instability.
- High reactive power compensation or sudden load shedding on the grid causing a momentary voltage swell on phase L1.
- Inverter's L1 voltage sensing circuit experiencing calibration drift or hardware failure, leading to an inaccurate over-voltage detection.
- Anti-islanding parameter P_AI_L1_Volt_Max_Fast set too low or configured incorrectly for the operating grid conditions.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Using a true RMS multimeter, measure and record the L1-Neutral voltage at the inverter's AC input terminal L1 over several minutes, looking for spikes.
- 2
Compare measured L1-Neutral voltage values to the specified 135 VAC trip threshold and the inverter's P_AI_L1_Volt_Fast parameter.
- 3
Inspect the wiring connection for the L1 phase and neutral conductor at the inverter's input terminals for looseness or damage.
- 4
Review the inverter's event log for occurrences of high L1 voltage readings that correlate with fault triggers.
- 5
If grid conditions appear stable and parameters are correct, perform a diagnostic check on the inverter's internal L1 voltage sensing circuit or contact service.
