CODE 04 Severity: High Difficulty: Intermediate

Inverter Soft Start Failure

Fault 04 trips when the inverter's DC-to-AC conversion stage fails to ramp up the AC output voltage to target operating parameters (230VAC) within the designated soft-start window. This safety mechanism protects the power conversion board from destructive overcurrent events typically caused by high inrush loads connected during startup, an external AC short circuit, or failed internal H-bridge power switches.
