Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blown upstream fuse on one phase, Loose phase connection at charger terminal block, Incorrect 3‑phase wiring configuration, Faulty phase sensing circuit on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: 3‑phase systems carry high fault currents. Only qualified electricians should work on them.

  • Step 1 – Confirm model: Verify that your Pod Point is a 3‑phase model and that the supply is correctly specified as 3‑phase.
  • Step 2 – Technician supply check: An electrician should measure voltage on all three phases at the charger input and confirm all are present and within tolerance.
  • Step 3 – Tighten terminations: With power isolated, check and tighten all phase conductors in the charger terminal block to the specified torque.
  • Step 4 – Upstream protection: Inspect upstream fuses/MCBs for a blown phase and replace as necessary, investigating the cause of any blown fuse.
  • Step 5 – PCB phase sensing: If all phases are present but the charger still reports phase loss, the phase sensing circuit on the PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
