IVGM5-8K LP2G1 hybrid inverters (fault code list, solid fault LED)
Felicity 50 error code
INV over-current of hardware: the inverter stage's hardware over-current protection tripped.
Likely causes
- Fast current surge or short on the output
- Load beyond the inverter's surge capability
- Damaged output cable or appliance
- Internal power-stage fault
Checks to run, in order
- 1Disconnect all backup loads and inspect the output wiring
- 2Check each appliance for a short
- 3Restart with no load, then reconnect loads one at a time
- 4Clamp the current during restart
Fixes
- Clear the short and repair the damaged cable or appliance
- Reduce the load and restart
- If the trip happens with no load, book service
When to escalate
A code 50 trip with all loads disconnected indicates an internal power-stage fault - escalate to the distributor.
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 50 mean?
INV over-current of hardware: the inverter stage's hardware over-current protection tripped.
How do I fix Felicity 50?
Clear the short and repair the damaged cable or appliance Reduce the load and restart If the trip happens with no load, book service
When should I escalate Felicity 50?
A code 50 trip with all loads disconnected indicates an internal power-stage fault - escalate to the distributor.
Can I reset Felicity 50 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Felicity 50 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Felicity 50?
Felicity 50 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.
