# Quiz — Troubleshooting: 10 Questions with Answers

> 10 multiple-choice questions on troubleshooting: one-restart rule, power-off sequence, BMS comm faults, grid protection consent, and backup overload fixes.

Ten questions from the [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting/not-starting) group. Work through all ten before scrolling to the key. Suggested pass mark: **8 / 10**. Each miss points to a source page — re-read it, not the whole group.

## Questions

**1.** The correct restart discipline when a fault code appears on either platform is:

* A. One restart; if the fault persists, stop and escalate to Kent service
* B. Restart repeatedly until the code clears or 30 minutes have passed
* C. Never restart — escalate immediately without any restart attempt
* D. Three restarts, ten minutes apart, then escalate

***

**2.** The correct power-off sequence before any service work is:

* A. Turn off the grid AC breaker first, then the battery
* B. Turn off the battery switch first, then the grid AC — the exact reverse of power-on
* C. Turn off the PV DC switch first, always
* D. Any order is acceptable once the display is dark

***

**3.** A Kent M1 showing E400–E402 or a Kent G3 showing "CAN Fail" with SOC missing — the first check is:

* A. Check the battery cells for physical damage
* B. Check the BMS communication cable — label, continuity, pinout, and RJ45 seating — before touching any setting
* C. Update the inverter firmware
* D. Check the grid code setting

***

**4.** Kent G3 "BatName-FAIL" means:

* A. The battery pack is empty — recharge before commissioning
* B. The BMS fuse has blown
* C. The battery selection in the HMI is wrong — correct it after the comm cable is confirmed good
* D. The inverter firmware needs updating

***

**5.** Kent M1 E303 (AFCI) fault behaviour is:

* A. Permanent lockout — a service call is always required to clear it
* B. Clears only after a full battery reset and 24-hour wait
* C. Auto-recovers; if it occurs 5 times in one day it auto-clears — check the AFCI CT connection if the code repeats
* D. A cosmetic fault that can be ignored

***

**6.** Grid protection points — voltage and frequency trip thresholds — should be changed:

* A. By the installer to match the nearest available grid code
* B. By the customer from the display if tripping seems too frequent
* C. Automatically by the meter when grid conditions change
* D. Only per the Kent-issued parameter sheet for the specific DISCOM — never improvised or estimated

***

**7.** A backup circuit that trips the backup output breaker under load is best resolved by:

* A. Widening the backup breaker's trip setting
* B. Moving the overloaded load to the grid-only panel — backup overload means something too big is on the essential panel
* C. Increasing the inverter's rated power via a setting
* D. Replacing the backup breaker with a higher-rated type

***

**8.** Kent M1 fault code E100 means:

* A. PV string overvoltage
* B. Battery undervoltage — check the pack SOC
* C. No AC connection — restore the AC path: upstream breaker, terminations, cable
* D. Fan failure

***

**9.** Kent M1 E303 (AFCI) occurs up to 5 times per day without intervention. Before diagnosing further, you should check:

* A. The PV string Voc against the 500 V limit
* B. The AFCI CT connection and installation at the PV input
* C. The battery SOC level
* D. The grid frequency setting

***

**10.** An internal fault code — Kent M1 E600–E602 or Kent G3 INI-FAULT / DSP-B-FAULT — that survives one restart is:

* A. A site wiring problem — check terminations before escalating
* B. Fixed by a factory reset from the advanced menu
* C. Fixed by swapping the BMS communication cable
* D. A Kent service case — stop all work, do not open the unit

| Q  | Answer | Why                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| -- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1  | **A**  | One restart is the maximum field step. If the fault survives a single restart, the job is an escalation — not more cycling. Repeated restarts obscure fault data.                                 |
| 2  | **B**  | Power-off is the reverse of power-on: battery off first, then grid AC. This sequence protects the inverter from back-feeding and protects the battery from an uncontrolled disconnect.            |
| 3  | **B**  | A BMS comm fault is almost always a cable problem. Check the crossover cable label, continuity, pinout, and RJ45 seating before touching any setting or firmware.                                 |
| 4  | **C**  | BatName-FAIL means the battery selection in the HMI does not match the connected pack. Correct the selection to PYLON\_LV (for Kent Lithium Battery) after confirming the comm cable is good.     |
| 5  | **C**  | E303 auto-recovers and clears itself after 5 occurrences in a day. If it repeats, investigate the AFCI CT connection at the PV input — it is not a hard fault requiring a service call by itself. |
| 6  | **D**  | Grid protection points are utility-consent settings. Use only the Kent-issued parameter sheet for the site's specific DISCOM. Improvised changes risk grid disconnection or regulatory violation. |
| 7  | **B**  | Backup overload means something too large is on the essential panel. The fix is to move that load to grid-only — not to widen the trip point or upsize the breaker.                               |
| 8  | **C**  | E100 is "No AC Connection." Check the upstream AC breaker, the AC wiring terminations, and the cable path before looking elsewhere.                                                               |
| 9  | **B**  | When E303 repeats, check the AFCI CT connection and installation at the PV input. A loose or incorrectly installed AFCI CT is the most common cause of repeat E303 events.                        |
| 10 | **D**  | Internal fault codes that survive a restart are Kent service cases. Do not open the unit, do not attempt a factory reset — escalate with the fault code, time, and one restart record.            |
