Event 3401, 3402, 3407 and rapid flashing LEDs — DC overvoltage detected

SMA · SUNNY BOY Solar Inverters

What does 3401, 3402, 3407 mean?

The inverter has detected overvoltage at its DC input, which is additionally signaled by rapidly flashing LEDs. This is a critical error as sustained overvoltage can permanently damage the inverter, requiring immediate attention.

Common Causes

  • DC voltage from the PV array exceeds the maximum input voltage of the inverter.
  • PV array incorrectly rated or wired for the inverter.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Disconnect the inverter from all voltage sources IMMEDIATELY (refer to your installation manual for safe disconnection procedure).

  2. 2

    After disconnection, check if the DC voltage is below the maximum input voltage of the inverter.

  3. 3

    If the DC voltage is below the maximum, reconnect the terminal block with the DC conductors to the inverter.

  4. 4

    If the DC voltage exceeds the maximum input voltage, ensure the PV array has been correctly rated or contact your PV array installer.

  5. 5

    If this message repeats frequently, contact SMA Service for further assistance.
