Possible Causes

Degraded insulation in output cable, Moisture on power board or inside enclosure, Faulty insulation monitoring circuit, Contamination between high-voltage traces on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: An insulation fault can lead to electric shock. Turn OFF the breaker and do not use the charger until the issue is resolved.

  • 1. Inspect cable and handle:
    • Look for cracks, cuts, or abrasions on the AMPROAD cable.
    • Check the handle for signs of water ingress or cracks.
  • 2. Dry the unit:
    • If the charger is outdoors, check for water inside the enclosure.
    • Dry thoroughly and improve sealing (replace gaskets or cable glands if needed).
  • 3. Internal inspection:
    • With power OFF, inspect the power board for contamination (dust, insects, corrosion) between high-voltage components.
    • Clean with appropriate electronics cleaner and a soft brush.
  • 4. Insulation test (qualified only):
    • Use a megohmmeter to test insulation resistance between live conductors and ground according to AMPROAD specifications.
  • 5. Replace faulty parts:
    • If the cable fails insulation tests, replace the AMPROAD output cable & handle assembly.
    • If the board is damaged, replace the power board.
