What you will see

  • Inverter stops in the evening or when heavy loads start
  • ID002 in the Event List
  • Lights dim at the same time

Why it happens

Low voltage at the end of a long or overloaded line takes the grid out of the inverter's range.

A loose connection or worn breaker inside your own wiring gives the same reading.

SOFAR inverters reconnect when the voltage recovers.

What you can check yourself

  • Note the time and what was running
  • Check whether lights dim or fans slow down
  • Check that the inverter's AC breaker is fully ON and not visibly heat-marked

What not to do

  • Do not open the distribution board
  • Do not put a stabilizer in front of an on-grid inverter

When to call us

  • Measure voltage at meter and inverter during the dip
  • Inspect AC terminals and the breaker
  • Check cable size
  • Log readings for FESCO or LESCO

Evening voltage dips

Peak-hour voltage drops are common on overloaded lines in Faisalabad and Lahore. We check whether the cause is the supply or your wiring.
