Possible Causes

One phase missing at charger input, Incorrect phase rotation (L1-L2-L3 swapped) on three-phase Kia charger, Loose terminal on one phase inside charger, Faulty phase detection circuit on main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Three-phase wiring must be handled by a qualified electrician. Incorrect phase wiring can damage equipment.

  • 1. Verify supply phases: Have an electrician measure voltage between all phase pairs at the charger input. Any missing phase or abnormal voltage must be corrected at the panel or junction box.
  • 2. Check phase rotation: For chargers that require a specific phase sequence, the electrician should verify and correct the phase order using a phase rotation tester.
  • 3. Tighten terminals: With power off, the electrician should tighten all phase terminals inside the charger and at the breaker to eliminate intermittent phase loss.
  • 4. Internal phase detection: If supply wiring is correct but E14 persists, the phase detection circuit on the main control board may be faulty and require board replacement.
