Anern AN-SCI-EVO OEM series (SMS 2 kVA/12 V, 4.2 kW/24 V, 10.2 kVA/48 V hybrid units)
SMS Sunmate Solar 57 error code
Current sensor failed: the output current sensor is not reading, so the inverter cannot protect the output.
Likely causes
- Internal current sensor or sensing board failure
- Damage after a short circuit or heavy surge
- Connector fault on the sensing harness
Checks to run, in order
- 1Check whether a short or overload event came before this code
- 2Restart once and watch whether the code clears
- 3Confirm the output load is within rating before any restart
Fixes
- Do not run the inverter with 57 present — protection is compromised
- Book the unit in for sensor/board replacement
When to escalate
Code 57 is an internal hardware failure; the distributor must replace the sensing board — the unit should not be left powering a load.
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 SMS Sunmate Solar 57 mean?
Current sensor failed: the output current sensor is not reading, so the inverter cannot protect the output.
How do I fix SMS Sunmate Solar 57?
Do not run the inverter with 57 present — protection is compromised Book the unit in for sensor/board replacement
When should I escalate SMS Sunmate Solar 57?
Code 57 is an internal hardware failure; the distributor must replace the sensing board — the unit should not be left powering a load.
Can I reset SMS Sunmate Solar 57 myself?
Only after isolating the AC and DC sides and running the checks above. If SMS Sunmate Solar 57 returns immediately, stop resetting it and escalate; a repeating fault usually points to a real circuit, battery or hardware problem.
Which models show SMS Sunmate Solar 57?
SMS Sunmate Solar 57 is documented for Anern AN-SCI-EVO OEM series (SMS 2 kVA/12 V, 4.2 kW/24 V, 10.2 kVA/48 V hybrid units). Confirm the code on your own unit's display or manual before ordering parts.
More SMS Sunmate Solar error codes
- SMS Sunmate Solar 01Fan failure: the cooling fan is blocked or not turning. The same code appears as a warning when the fan is blocked while the inverter is running.
- SMS Sunmate Solar 02Over-temperature: internal component temperature above 100 °C, or converter temperature above 120 °C.
- SMS Sunmate Solar 03Battery over-voltage: the battery bank is charged above the inverter's high-voltage limit. The same number is also used as a warning (beep once per second) when the battery is overcharged.
- SMS Sunmate Solar 04Battery under-voltage: the bank has discharged below the inverter's low-voltage cutoff. The same number is also used as a low-battery warning (beep once per second).
- SMS Sunmate Solar 05Output short circuit: a short is detected on the AC output.
- SMS Sunmate Solar 06Abnormal output voltage: the inverter output is above 260 V AC (the manual groups 06 and 58 as output voltage outside the 190–260 V AC band).
