Possible Causes
Missing or high-resistance earth connection at backplate, Broken PE conductor in supply cable, Corroded earth bar in distribution board, Faulty PE sensing circuit in charger
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Critical safety: Do not operate the charger without a proper earth connection. Risk of electric shock.
- 1. Verify PE continuity: With power isolated, use a continuity tester or low-ohm meter to confirm a solid connection between the charger PE terminal and the main earth bar.
- 2. Inspect PE conductor: Check that the earth wire is correctly landed in the backplate terminal block and shows no signs of damage or corrosion.
- 3. Check distribution board: Ensure the earth bar is secure and that the PE conductor from the charger is firmly connected.
- 4. Measure earth resistance: A qualified electrician should measure earth loop impedance or resistance to confirm compliance with local standards.
- 5. Replace charger if internal fault: If the external earth is sound but the charger still reports a PE error, the internal PE sensing circuit may be defective and the main board or module must be replaced.
