Possible Causes

Missing or high‑resistance protective earth connection, Loose PE conductor in supply terminal block, Corroded earth bar in distribution board, Faulty PE monitoring circuit on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Danger: Ground faults can be life‑threatening. Only a qualified electrician should work on the supply wiring.

  • Do not bypass earth: Never attempt to operate the charger without a proper earth connection.
  • Check for obvious external issues: Confirm that no extension cords or adapters are used between the wallbox and the fixed wiring. The Amperfied charger must be hard‑wired to a properly earthed circuit.
  • Have an electrician test PE continuity: A professional should verify the earth connection from the main panel to the wallbox using an installation tester, tightening any loose PE terminals in the wallbox supply block and distribution board.
  • Inspect for corrosion or water ingress: Ask the technician to check for signs of moisture or corrosion around the earth terminal inside the charger. If present, the unit may need drying, sealing, or component replacement.
  • If wiring is sound: The internal PE monitoring circuit on the main control board may be defective and the board will need replacement by an authorized service provider.
