SMA inverter event 1101
Risk level
Critical
Stop using the equipment and contact a professional.
Urgency
Immediate
Quick answer
SMA defines event 1101 as: A second line conductor is connected to neutral. The useful next discriminator is the recorded phase/neutral state and commissioned grid topology. Preserve the event before any reset.
Safety first
What to do now
- Preserve the exact event context
Save event 1101, timestamp, inverter model/serial, firmware, red-LED state, affected phase/string, power and weather before clearing anything.
- Collect one safe discriminator
Leave the inverter disconnected. Record recent commissioning, protection or grid-parameter changes; do not open the AC board or reconnect conductors. Record the recorded phase/neutral state and commissioned grid topology; do not change multiple parameters or circuits at once.
- Respect the electrical stop point
Do not reconnect until a qualified electrician verifies conductor assignment, protection, grounding, topology and the authorized country data set.

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.
Measured handoff for SMA 1101
What they doWith the system safely isolated, verify L/N/PE assignment, conductor continuity, transformer earthing, grid topology and the authorized country data set before energizing.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Where this code applies
A code is meaningful only inside the right product and version context.

What it means
Official meaning: A second line conductor is connected to neutral. Decision boundary: capture the recorded phase/neutral state and commissioned grid topology. With the system safely isolated, verify L/N/PE assignment, conductor continuity, transformer earthing, grid topology and the authorized country data set before energizing.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Criticalsource verified
Incorrect AC conductors or grounding can cause lethal shock and fire. Keep the inverter disconnected and use a qualified electrician.
