Possible Causes
Weak or overloaded supply circuit, Loose line or neutral at charger terminal block, Voltage drop due to undersized cable to charger, Faulty input voltage sensor on main PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Work on live circuits only if you are qualified. Otherwise, call an electrician.
- Check breaker and cable size: Confirm the dedicated circuit breaker and cable cross-section meet NewMotion’s installation requirements for the configured current (e.g., 6 mm² for 32 A, depending on local code and run length).
- Measure voltage under load: With the charger attempting to charge, measure the voltage at the charger’s input terminals. If it drops significantly below nominal (e.g., <207 V on a 230 V system), the supply is inadequate.
- Tighten connections: Isolate power, then tighten all line and neutral screws on the charger’s terminal block and in the upstream distribution board.
- Reduce current setting: In the installer configuration (via app or web portal), temporarily reduce the maximum charging current and see if E005 events stop. This can confirm a supply limitation.
- Investigate shared loads: Ensure the charger is on a dedicated circuit and not sharing with high-load appliances that cause voltage sag.
- PCB check: If supply is stable but E005 persists, the voltage sensing section of the main PCB may be misreading and need replacement.
