Possible Causes

Loose Type 2 connector in vehicle inlet, Thermal protection activating and resetting, Intermittent contact in Schneider EVlink contactor coil wiring, Marginal supply voltage dips

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid touching metal parts of the connector during charging. Do not open the charger while energized.

  • Check connector fit: Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the vehicle and not under strain from a twisted or stretched cable.
  • Monitor temperature: Feel the outside of the charger enclosure and cable during operation (it should be warm at most, not hot). Excessive heat suggests internal issues.
  • Observe pattern: Note whether interruptions occur at similar times (e.g., high household load) which may indicate supply voltage dips.
  • Inspect cable: With power OFF, check the cable for kinks or damage that could cause intermittent conductor contact.
  • Professional inspection: A technician should check internal terminals, contactor coil connections, and temperature sensor readings, and may perform a load test.
