LVTS-5220-HVX high-voltage battery - BMS alarm page on the battery touchscreen (LVTOPSUN BMS protection alarms)
LVTopsun ChgRly OT error code
The charge relay temperature exceeded the BMS limit.
Likely causes
- High continuous charge current through the relay
- Poor relay contact resistance or a worn relay
- High ambient temperature or poor ventilation
- Temperature sensor fault
Checks to run, in order
- 1Check the charge current against the datasheet
- 2Check the relay temperature reading when the battery is cool
- 3Check ambient temperature and cabinet ventilation
- 4Review the event history for repeated high-current charging
Fixes
- Reduce the charge current
- Improve ventilation
- Restart after cooling and confirm the alarm does not return at normal current
When to escalate
If the relay over-temperature returns at normal charge current, ask the distributor to inspect the relay and its connections.
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 LVTopsun ChgRly OT mean?
The charge relay temperature exceeded the BMS limit.
How do I fix LVTopsun ChgRly OT?
Reduce the charge current Improve ventilation Restart after cooling and confirm the alarm does not return at normal current
When should I escalate LVTopsun ChgRly OT?
If the relay over-temperature returns at normal charge current, ask the distributor to inspect the relay and its connections.
Can I reset LVTopsun ChgRly OT myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If LVTopsun ChgRly OT returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show LVTopsun ChgRly OT?
LVTopsun ChgRly OT is documented for LVTS-5220-HVX high-voltage battery - BMS alarm page on the battery touchscreen (LVTOPSUN BMS protection alarms). Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
