Possible Causes

Loose mounting of contactor, Worn contactor coil, Magnetic vibration in power module at high load, Resonance with mounting surface

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: A soft hum is normal, but loud or new noises should be investigated.

  • 1. Identify source: Listen closely to determine whether the noise comes from the contactor area, transformer, or enclosure.
  • 2. Check mounting: Ensure the charger is firmly mounted to a solid surface and that all internal components are secured.
  • 3. Reduce load: Temporarily lower the maximum current in the app to see if the noise decreases.
  • 4. Inspect contactor: If the contactor is chattering or buzzing loudly, it may have a failing coil and should be replaced.
  • 5. Add damping (if appropriate): Use manufacturer-approved mounting pads or spacers to reduce resonance.
