SG04LP3/SG05LP1 hybrid families and SG01HP3-EU-DM2
Deye F23 error code
Transient AC leakage current above the limit.
Likely causes
- PV-side ground leakage
- Moisture or condensation in the array
- Switching surge from a connected load
- Damaged cable insulation
Checks to run, in order
- 1Check the PV-side cable ground connection
- 2Megger the array
- 3Inspect for moisture in connectors and junction boxes
- 4Restart two to three times
Fixes
- Clear the leakage path and dry the parts
- Restart the system two to three times
When to escalate
If F23 recurs after clearing the leakage, the distributor should test the leakage-current sensor.
Fix it with the right tools
Check the system around the fault before replacing parts: load, battery bank, PV string and commissioning settings. If you need a second opinion, send the code and your inverter model to our team.
Before you open the inverter
- Isolate both the AC and DC sides, then confirm the display is dead before touching terminals.
- Use insulated tools and one hand where possible. DC arcs do not self-extinguish like AC.
- If you see burnt terminals, swollen cells, leaking electrolyte or a burning smell, stop and escalate instead of resetting the fault.
Questions installers ask
What does Deye F23 mean?
Transient AC leakage current above the limit.
How do I fix Deye F23?
Clear the leakage path and dry the parts Restart the system two to three times
When should I escalate Deye F23?
If F23 recurs after clearing the leakage, the distributor should test the leakage-current sensor.
Can I reset Deye F23 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Deye F23 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Deye F23?
Deye F23 is documented for SG04LP3/SG05LP1 hybrid families and SG01HP3-EU-DM2. Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
