Possible Causes
Vehicle drawing more current than pilot allows, Short circuit in J1772 connector or cable, Faulty current sensor on power board, Misconfigured maximum current setting
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Overcurrent can overheat wiring. Do not repeatedly restart charging without investigation.
- Check app current limit: Ensure the maximum current in the Enphase app does not exceed the circuit breaker rating and charger specification.
- Inspect connector and cable: Look for burn marks, melted plastic, or hot spots on the J1772 handle and cable. If any are found, discontinue use and replace the cable assembly.
- Try lower current: Temporarily reduce the maximum current setting in the app (e.g., from 40 A to 24 A) and see if charging completes without E301.
- Test with another vehicle: If E301 only occurs with one car, the vehicle's onboard charger may be malfunctioning and drawing excessive current.
- If E301 occurs at low currents or with multiple vehicles: The internal current sensor or power module may be faulty. A technician should measure output current and replace the power board if needed.
