ClipperCreek Aged or UV-Damaged Output Cable

EVSE cable jacket is cracked, stiff, or splitting, especially in cold weather.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Prolonged UV exposure, Repeated flexing in low temperatures, Chemical exposure to cable jacket, Cable not rated for environmental conditions

Safety first: Do not use an EVSE with visibly damaged cable insulation. Turn OFF the breaker before handling the cable extensively.

Inspect full length: Check from EVSE to handle for cracks, splits, or exposed conductors.
Limit movement: Avoid flexing or coiling the cable until it is replaced to prevent further damage.
Schedule replacement: Arrange for replacement of the entire J1772 cable and handle assembly with an OEM-rated part.

Operating with a compromised cable jacket risks shock and ground faults; replacement is the only safe remedy.
