Sungrow SG125HV/SG125HV-20 Error 039: Low system insulation resistance

Solar inverter · taken from the manufacturer’s manual, pages cited

Fault code039

Low system insulation resistance means there is insufficient electrical insulation to ground, possibly due to dampness or poor cable insulation. The manual's first action is: “1. Check whether the ISO resistance protection value is excessively high via the APP or the LCD, and ensure that it complies with the local regulations. 2. Check the resistance to ground of the string and DC cable. Take correction measures in case of short circuit or damaged insulation layer. 3. If the cable is normal and the fault occurs on rainy days, check it again when the weather turns fine. 4. If the fault is not caused by the foregoing reasons and still exists, contact Sungrow Service.”
