How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Moisture inside an electrical enclosure is dangerous. Switch off the charger at the breaker immediately.
Steps to try:
- Isolate power: Turn OFF the dedicated EV charger breaker and any local isolator.
- Do not use until dry: Do not attempt to charge until the unit has been inspected and fully dried by a professional.
- Technician inspection: A qualified electrician should open the enclosure, dry internal components, inspect for corrosion, and identify the entry point of water (glands, gaskets, cracks).
- Repair sealing: Replace damaged gaskets, housings, or cable glands with Hager‑approved parts. Re‑seal all entries according to the installation manual.
- Test insulation: Perform insulation resistance tests before re‑energising. Replace any corroded terminals or boards.
