Possible Causes

Loose mains supply connection to Garo charger, Overheating of contactor or terminals causing thermal cutback, Marginal RCD/RDC‑DD sensitivity, Vehicle‑initiated charge stops due to communication noise

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Frequent interruptions may indicate overheating or wiring issues. Isolate power before inspection.

  • Check breaker and wiring: Ensure the dedicated breaker is not tripping. With power OFF, inspect and tighten all supply and output terminals.
  • Monitor temperature: During a charge, feel (without opening) the front of the charger. Excessive heat suggests internal thermal issues that need professional attention.
  • Test with another EV: If dropouts only occur with one vehicle, the issue may be on the vehicle side.
  • Log events: Use the Garo app or web interface to review event logs for hidden fault flags that can guide a technician.
