Blink EV charger trips the circuit breaker during or shortly after starting a charge.

Safety first: Repeated breaker tripping indicates a potentially serious fault. Turn off the breaker and do not repeatedly reset without investigation.

Steps to troubleshoot:

• Verify breaker and wiring: Confirm the breaker rating and wire gauge match Blink installation requirements for the charger’s maximum current.
• Inspect cable and connector: Look for visible damage, burn marks, or melted plastic on the cable and handle. Replace if any damage is found.
• Check internal wiring: With power OFF, inspect line and load conductors for pinched insulation, loose lugs, or contact with the enclosure.
• Isolate charger: Ensure no other loads are incorrectly tied into the EVSE circuit.

If the breaker still trips with a known-good cable and wiring, the contactor or main control board may be shorted and should be replaced by a technician.
