Risk level

Medium

Proceed carefully and stop if the check is unclear.

Urgency

High

Quick answer

SMA defines event 102 as: Grid voltage or impedance at the inverter connection point is too high; the inverter disconnected. The useful next discriminator is grid voltage by phase and point-of-connection impedance. Preserve the event before any reset.

Safety first

Stop and check this first

  • Do not change grid-code, voltage or frequency protection settings without installer and grid-operator authorization. Do not measure live boards yourself.

Safe checks you can perform

  • Preserve the exact event context
  • Collect one safe discriminator
  • Respect the electrical stop point

Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

  • Do not attempt this professional task: Measured handoff for SMA 102

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 handoff for SMA 102

    What they doA qualified electrician should log phase voltages, frequency and connection-point impedance under the same export condition, then compare them with the active grid code and utility limits.

Before accepting a part or repair

Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.

Checks and evidence, step by step

Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.

  1. 1

    Preserve the exact event context

    No special tools

    Procedure

    Save event 102, timestamp, inverter model/serial, firmware, red-LED state, affected phase/string, power and weather before clearing anything.

    Do not change grid-code, voltage or frequency protection settings without installer and grid-operator authorization. Do not measure live boards yourself.

  2. 2

    Collect one safe discriminator

    No special tools

    Procedure

    From the monitoring interface and a safe location, note whether other premises lost power and whether the event repeats at a particular export level or time. Record grid voltage by phase and point-of-connection impedance; do not change multiple parameters or circuits at once.

    Do not change grid-code, voltage or frequency protection settings without installer and grid-operator authorization. Do not measure live boards yourself.

  3. 3

    Respect the electrical stop point

    No special tools

    Procedure

    If supply to the site is abnormal, involve the grid operator; if only the inverter repeats the event, a qualified electrician must measure at the connection point.

    Do not change grid-code, voltage or frequency protection settings without installer and grid-operator authorization. Do not measure live boards yourself.

What it means

Official meaning: Grid voltage or impedance at the inverter connection point is too high; the inverter disconnected. Decision boundary: capture grid voltage by phase and point-of-connection impedance. A qualified electrician should log phase voltages, frequency and connection-point impedance under the same export condition, then compare them with the active grid code and utility limits.

Warnings and stop conditions
