Possible Causes
Charger leakage current near RCD threshold, Shared RCD with other loads, Incorrect breaker type or rating, Internal ground fault or insulation issue
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Repeated tripping indicates a potential fault. Do not repeatedly reset without investigation.
- Step 1 – Verify breaker type: Confirm that the breaker and RCD type and rating match Enel X installation requirements (e.g., Type A or B RCD, correct amperage).
- Step 2 – Dedicated circuit: Ensure the charger is on a dedicated circuit, not shared with other large loads.
- Step 3 – Visual inspection: Check the charger cable and enclosure for signs of moisture or damage.
- Step 4 – Insulation test (electrician): Have an electrician perform insulation resistance tests on the charger circuit and cable.
- Resolution: If the charger is confirmed to be the cause, replace the charge cable assembly or main control board depending on where leakage is found.
