Risk level

Critical

Stop using the equipment and contact a professional.

Urgency

Immediate

Quick answer

Huawei alarm 2002 means a DC arc fault was detected. The deciding evidence is the cause ID/string or MPPT named by FusionSolar and whether the event repeats under similar irradiance. This is an installer-grade electrical alarm: do not infer or buy a component from the ID alone.

Safety first

What to do now

  • Preserve the exact alarm context

    Save a screenshot of 2002 with timestamp, cause ID, inverter model/serial, firmware, operating power, affected string/MPPT/phase and weather. Do not clear the alarm first.

  • Collect the safe discriminator

    Leave generation stopped and keep away from PV/DC equipment. Do not clear AFCI, restart repeatedly or touch connectors; an arc or failed arc-protection path can create fire risk. Record the cause ID/string or MPPT named by FusionSolar and whether the event repeats under similar irradiance; do not change several settings or circuits at once.

  • Respect the electrical stop boundary

    Do not treat a cleared alarm as a repair. The named arc/AFCI path must be inspected and proven before generation resumes.

What you must never do

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Measured installer handoff for 2002

What a technician must be able to justify

A technician is coming

These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.

These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

  1. Measured installer handoff for 2002

    What they doIsolate the named DC branch using the model procedure, inspect every connector and cable for poor contact or arcing, and prove the repair before clearing AFCI.

Before accepting a part or repair

What it means

Huawei’s official inverter alarm reference defines 2002 as a condition in which a DC arc fault was detected. It reports a controller/protection state, not a universal failed part. Record the cause ID/string or MPPT named by FusionSolar and whether the event repeats under similar irradiance. The next proof is measured: Isolate the named DC branch using the model procedure, inspect every connector and cable for poor contact or arcing, and prove the repair before clearing AFCI.

Warnings and stop conditions

  • Criticalsource verified

    A DC arc can cause fire and PV conductors remain energised in daylight. Keep clear, leave the protected system stopped and call a qualified PV installer; call emergency services for smoke, flame or burning smell.
