What you will see

  • Buzzer beeps twice a second and the overload icon flashes
  • Inverter shuts down with Fault 07 when the AC or iron is on
  • Fault 05 the moment one appliance is switched on

Why it happens

An SPF supplies everything on its output from battery and solar. Motors and heaters can push it past its rating, especially when starting.

A damaged appliance or wiring fault causes a short circuit.
