Possible Causes

Internal insulation breakdown, Moisture on high-voltage components, Faulty isolation monitoring circuit on main control board, Contaminated PCB surfaces causing leakage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Warning: Isolation faults can expose dangerous voltages. Only qualified technicians should open the unit.

  • Step 1 – De-energize and inspect:
    • Turn OFF the breaker.
    • Open the charger housing.
    • Look for signs of water ingress, condensation, or corrosion on the main control board and power components.
  • Step 2 – Dry and clean:
    • If moisture is present, carefully dry the interior with a clean cloth and allow several hours of drying time.
    • Clean light contamination on PCB surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush.
  • Step 3 – Check enclosure seals:
    • Inspect gaskets, cable glands, and conduit entries for damage.
    • Replace or reseal to prevent future ingress.
  • Step 4 – Retest:
    • Reassemble, restore power, and see if the error clears.
  • Step 5 – Persistent isolation fault:
    • If the error remains, the isolation monitoring circuit or insulation of internal components may be compromised.
    • Replace the main control board or affected high-voltage module as recommended by ChargePoint.
