E05 appears and charging stops shortly after starting; may occur intermittently under high load.

Safety first: Overcurrent can overheat wiring. If you smell burning or see discoloration, shut off power immediately and do not reuse until inspected.

• Step 1 – Verify settings: Using the Electrify America app or local interface, confirm the maximum current setting matches the circuit rating (e.g., 40 A on a 50 A breaker). Reduce the setting and test again.
• Step 2 – Cable inspection: Check the entire length of the output cable for hot spots, bulges, or melted insulation after a failed charge attempt.
• Step 3 – Terminal check (power OFF): Open the enclosure and inspect all high‑current terminals (line, neutral if present, and output) for looseness or signs of arcing. Retorque to manufacturer specifications.
• Step 4 – Current sensor connection: Locate the current sensor (Hall ring or shunt) on the output. Ensure its connector to the control board is secure and free of corrosion.
• Step 5 – Test with lower current: Set the charger to a significantly lower current (e.g., 16 A) and attempt a charge. If E05 disappears at low current but returns at higher current, suspect marginal wiring, contactor, or breaker.
• Step 6 – Replace damaged parts: If the current sensor is faulty or the contactor shows heat damage, replace with Electrify America‑approved components.
