Fronius STATE codes beginning with 1xx

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 1 usually only occur momentarily and are caused by the power from the street (the grid) being outside the inverters operating parameters. The Fronius inverter reacts by disconnecting from the grid and attempts to switch on again after the specified mains monitoring period, as long as no further errors occur during this period. The STATE code is displayed whilst the grid is being checked.

Code	Description	Behaviour	Remedy
STATE 102	AC voltage too high	Following careful testing and when the grid conditions are within the permissible range again, the inverter will resume feeding energy into the grid.	Check grid connections: If this STATE code keeps recurring contact your solar power system installer.
STATE 103	AC voltage too low
STATE 105	AC frequency too high
STATE 106	AC frequency too low
STATE 107	AC grid outside the permissible limits
STATE 108	Stand alone operation detected

Fronius STATE codes beginning with 3xx

Fronius Galvo STATE codes beginning with 3 are status codes that may occur while feeding energy into the grid, but generally do not cause the process to be interrupted for any length of time.

The inverter disconnects automatically from the grid, the grid is then monitored as specified and the inverter attempts to resume feeding energy into the grid.

Code	Description	Behaviour	Remedy
STATE 301	Overcurrent (AC)	Short-term interruption while feeding energy into the grid due to over current in the inverter. The inverter resumes with its startup routine.	Fault is rectified automatically; if this STATE code is displayed all the time: notify your local Fronius service partner.
STATE 302	Safety circuit detects a current peak on the PV generator side
STATE 303	Power stage set over temperature	Short term interruption while feeding energy into the grid due to over temperature. The inverter resumes with its startup routine.	Purge openings for cooling air and heat sink if necessary; fault is rectified automatically; if this STATE code keeps recurring contact your solar power system installer.
STATE 304	Internal temperature too high
STATE 306	LOW PV OUTPUT Intermediate circuit voltage too low for feeding energy into the grid	Short term interruption while feeding energy into the grid. The inverter resumes with its startup routine.	Fault is rectified automatically; if this STATE code occurs when there is sufficient insolation (sunlight) contact your solar power system installer. IMPORTANT! Due to the low level of insolation (sunlight) early in the morning and in the evening, the STATE codes 306 (LOW PV OUTPUT) and 307 LOW PV VOLTAGE) are displayed routinely at these times of day. These STATE codes do not indicate any kind of fault.
STATE 307	LOW PV VOLTAGE DC input voltage too low for feeding energy into the grid
STATE 308	Intermediate circuit overvoltage	Short term interruption while feeding energy into the grid. The inverter resumes with its startup routine.	Fault is rectified automatically; if this STATE code is displayed all the time: notify your local Fronius service partner.
STATE 309	DC input voltage too high
