IVGM5-8K LP2G1 hybrid inverters (fault code list, solid fault LED)
Felicity 82 error code
NTC open-circuit fault: an internal temperature sensor reads open circuit.
Likely causes
- NTC sensor unplugged or its harness damaged
- Failed NTC thermistor
- Control-board connector fault
- Moisture or corrosion on the sensor connector
Checks to run, in order
- 1Restart the inverter 2-3 times and note whether the code returns immediately
- 2Check the installation for overheating or a fan fault that may have stressed the sensor
- 3Arrange an installer inspection of the NTC harness and connectors
Fixes
- Restart as the manual directs
- If the code returns, remove the unit from service and book repair
- Do not bypass the temperature sensor
When to escalate
Code 82 is an internal sensor fault that is not installer-serviceable - 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 82 mean?
NTC open-circuit fault: an internal temperature sensor reads open circuit.
How do I fix Felicity 82?
Restart as the manual directs If the code returns, remove the unit from service and book repair Do not bypass the temperature sensor
When should I escalate Felicity 82?
Code 82 is an internal sensor fault that is not installer-serviceable - escalate to the distributor.
Can I reset Felicity 82 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If Felicity 82 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show Felicity 82?
Felicity 82 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.
