Possible Causes
Internal current sensor (CT or shunt) detecting overcurrent, Short or partial short in output wiring or connector, Incorrect maximum current configuration, Failing power module causing current spikes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Risk: Repeated overcurrent can overheat wiring and components.
- Check configuration: Using the ABB configuration app or web interface (if available), verify that the maximum charging current is set according to the circuit rating and cable size.
- Inspect cable and connector: Look for burn marks, melted plastic, or discoloration on the connector and along the cable. Replace the cable if any damage is found.
- Check for hot spots: After a short charging session, carefully feel (without opening live parts) around the cable entry and connector for abnormal heat. Excessive heat suggests high resistance or overcurrent.
- Internal inspection (technician): A technician should inspect the output current sensor and power module for signs of overheating or damage, and verify calibration of the current sensing circuit.
- Replace faulty module: If the current sensor or power module is defective, replace the corresponding ABB power module assembly.
