How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power if water is entering the enclosure.
- Identify entry point: Inspect the top and sides of the charger for cracks, gaps, or missing gaskets.
- Check glands and conduit: Ensure all cable glands are tightened and that conduit fittings are rated for outdoor use and properly sealed.
- Seal repairs: Replace damaged gaskets or apply manufacturer-approved sealing kits. Avoid generic sealants that may interfere with serviceability.
