Possible Causes

Undersized supply cable causing voltage drop, Loose neutral connection, Overloaded household circuit sharing with charger, Failing internal auxiliary power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Voltage sags can damage equipment. Have an electrician evaluate the supply.

  • Dedicated circuit: Ensure the Siemens charger is on a dedicated circuit as specified in the installation manual.
  • Measure voltage: Under load, measure voltage at the charger input. If it drops below the minimum specified, upgrade wiring or reduce charger current setting.
  • Check neutral: Tighten neutral and earth connections at both the charger and distribution board.
  • Internal PSU check: If supply is stable but LEDs still flicker, the internal power supply on the control board may be failing and require replacement.
