SUN-5-12K-SG01HP3-EU-DM2 three-phase hybrid (warning codes)
Deye W05 error code
CT direction is wrong.
Likely causes
- CT arrow pointing away from the inverter
- CT installed on the wrong conductor
- CT leads reversed
Checks to run, in order
- 1Check that the CT arrow points toward the inverter
- 2Check the CT installation location
- 3Check the CT lead polarity
Fixes
- Reorient or reconnect the CT
- Restart the inverter
When to escalate
If the CT installation is correct and W05 persists, the distributor should check the CT input.
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 W05 mean?
CT direction is wrong.
How do I fix Deye W05?
Reorient or reconnect the CT Restart the inverter
When should I escalate Deye W05?
If the CT installation is correct and W05 persists, the distributor should check the CT input.
Can I reset Deye W05 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Deye W05 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Deye W05?
Deye W05 is documented for SUN-5-12K-SG01HP3-EU-DM2 three-phase hybrid (warning codes). Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
