How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: A cracked enclosure can allow water ingress and contact with live parts.

  • Inspect crack location: If the crack is near cable entries or seams, assume water ingress risk.
  • Switch off in severe cases: If internal components are visible, turn off the charger at the breaker and do not use it.
  • Temporary weather protection: If the unit must remain outdoors until repair, shield it from direct rain without blocking ventilation (e.g., temporary canopy), but do not operate if safety is in doubt.
  • Replace housing parts: A technician should replace the damaged front cover or enclosure parts and verify IP rating is restored.
