Possible Causes

Loose line or neutral terminal inside charger, Marginal contact in Type 2 connector pins, Overly sensitive RCD upstream causing brief trips, EMI from nearby heavy equipment affecting control pilot

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Random interruptions can indicate a developing fault; do not ignore repeated events.

  • Check event logs: If your Siemens model supports logging, review logs via app or web interface for hidden fault codes or patterns.
  • Inspect terminals: With power OFF, tighten all supply and internal power terminals to specified torque.
  • Examine connector: Look for signs of arcing or discoloration on the Type 2 pins. Replace the cable if wear is evident.
  • Isolate from other loads: Temporarily avoid using large inductive loads (welders, compressors) on the same circuit and observe if stability improves.

If intermittent stops continue and logs show no clear cause, a detailed diagnostic by a Siemens technician is recommended.
