IVGM5-8K LP2G1 hybrid inverters (fault code list, solid fault LED)
Felicity 31 error code
LLC over-current fault of hardware: the hardware protection on the LLC converter stage tripped.
Likely causes
- Internal LLC converter fault on the DC link
- Load or PV surge feeding through the converter
- Damaged power component or gate drive
- Sustained operation at the power limit
Checks to run, in order
- 1Restart the inverter 2-3 times as the manual directs
- 2Check the connected load and PV input for a recent surge or lightning event
- 3Confirm the battery voltage is within the inverter's range
- 4Inspect the unit for a burning smell or visible damage before retrying
Fixes
- Reduce the load and restart
- If the code returns with a normal load, remove the unit from service
- Book service - the LLC stage is not installer-serviceable
When to escalate
A repeated code 31 is an internal converter fault - escalate to the distributor with the serial number and fault history.
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 Felicity 31 mean?
LLC over-current fault of hardware: the hardware protection on the LLC converter stage tripped.
How do I fix Felicity 31?
Reduce the load and restart If the code returns with a normal load, remove the unit from service Book service - the LLC stage is not installer-serviceable
When should I escalate Felicity 31?
A repeated code 31 is an internal converter fault - escalate to the distributor with the serial number and fault history.
Can I reset Felicity 31 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Felicity 31 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Felicity 31?
Felicity 31 is documented for IVGM5-8K LP2G1 hybrid inverters (fault code list, solid fault LED). Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
More Felicity error codes
- Felicity 04Low cell voltage / over-discharge protection.
- Felicity 05PV over-current fault: the PV input current exceeded the inverter's PV input limit.
- Felicity 18PV short-circuit fault on the PV input; in the warning list the same number means battery under-voltage alarm.
- Felicity 19Battery open-circuit alarm: the inverter no longer detects a battery on its terminals.
- Felicity 20Battery SOC low alarm: the battery's state of charge has fallen to the low-SOC warning threshold.
- Felicity 21BMS communication alarm: abnormal communication between battery and inverter in non-SOC mode.
