How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Shock hazard: Do not use a charger with damaged cable insulation.
- Stop using immediately: Disconnect the charger from power and do not plug into any vehicle.
- Assess damage: If copper conductors are visible or insulation is deeply cut, the cable must be replaced.
- Do not tape as a fix: Electrical tape is not an acceptable permanent repair for EV charging cables.
- Replace cable assembly: Have an ABB-authorized technician replace the entire tethered cable assembly, ensuring proper strain relief and routing.
- Prevent recurrence: Route the cable so it does not lie in drive paths or rub against sharp surfaces; use cable hooks or management accessories.
