Charger displays E05; app may show 'Overcurrent detected' or 'Current exceeded limit'; charging stops abruptly.

Safety: Turn off the breaker before inspecting wiring. Overcurrent conditions can overheat conductors.

• Check app settings: Open the Emporia app, navigate to the charger settings, and confirm that the maximum current is set correctly for the circuit (e.g., 40A on a 50A breaker). Reduce the limit by 10–20% and test again.
• Inspect cable and handle: Look for hot spots, discoloration, or melting on the cable or J1772 handle after a trip. Any sign of overheating indicates damage.
• Verify supply breaker size: Ensure the breaker rating matches the charger’s installation requirements. An undersized breaker may trip and be misinterpreted as E05.
• Internal wiring check (qualified person only): With power off and cover removed, inspect the internal output connections from the contactor to the cable for loose screws or signs of arcing.
• If E05 persists with correct settings and no visible damage: The internal current sensor or control board may be faulty. Replacement of the control board is typically required and should be done by a technician.
