How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Warning: Moisture inside an energized charger is hazardous. Disconnect power immediately.

  • De-energize and open: Turn off the breaker and open the housing. Carefully dry all internal components with a lint-free cloth and allow to air dry completely.
  • Inspect seals and glands: Check that all cable glands are tightened and that gaskets around the housing and front cover are intact. Replace damaged seals.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for rust or green/white deposits on terminals and PCBs. Clean lightly corroded areas with contact cleaner; replace heavily corroded parts.
  • Improve installation: If the charger is exposed to rain or sprinklers, add a protective cover or relocate it to a more sheltered position.
  • Test RCD and leakage: After drying and reassembly, test RCD operation and monitor for leakage-related errors during a short charge.
