Troubleshooting

Charger not receiving power.

Check the connections at both the charger and the consumer unit. Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Test the cable for continuity using a multimeter.

Data communication issues between the charger and the vehicle.

Inspect the data cable connections for secure connections. Ensure the data cable is properly shielded. Verify the cable is not damaged or interfered with.

Cable overheats during charging.

Check if the current draw exceeds the cable's rating (58A). Inspect the cable for damage or poor connections. Make sure the cable is installed in an environment that allows for proper heat dissipation.
