Charger trips a GFCI or AFCI breaker or outlet when plugged in or when charging starts.

Safety first: Treat any ground fault trip as a potential safety issue until proven otherwise.

• 1. Verify dedicated circuit: Primecom Level 2 chargers should be on a dedicated, non-GFCI breaker unless local code requires otherwise. Consult an electrician.
• 2. Dry and clean: Ensure the charger, plug, and connector are completely dry and free of condensation.
• 3. Check panel wiring: Have an electrician verify that neutrals and grounds are not shared improperly between circuits, which can cause nuisance tripping.
• 4. Test on another circuit: If possible, test the charger on a different, properly wired circuit to see if tripping persists.
• 5. Internal leakage: If trips continue on a known-good circuit, internal filter capacitors or insulation may be leaking; professional diagnosis and possible control board replacement are required.
