EV charger fuse box tripping

thfctom · Thursday at 9:55 PM

Hi all,

Weird one here, can’t find any similar issues online.

My Newmotion charge point runs through a G8EV40PME box, and this box is regularly tripping/clicking every few seconds. See video attached.

Any idea what could be causing this? I’ve flipped the main fuse box switch, the switch for the EV unit, and the switches on the EV specific box, and when switched back on, it continues to trip/flicker/click as per video.

The charging unit has now stopped working.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Tom

When was that installed ?

Sounds like a contactor

That has PME fault protection so one of two things are happening, the red indicator is indicating a PME fault or the unit is faulty. I think you are going to need to contact Garo or get professional help.

I’ve contacted the installer, will contact Garo.

Will update this thread.

Update:
It’s stopped clicking/tripping. Charging is working as normal.

Only thing that’s changed is the weather, it was below freezing for last few days, now it’s warmer. Could that have anything to do with it?

It really depends what it is for. As it is not labelled, it is not possible to be specific.

Condensation issue maybe?

PEN fault protection that is what it is for.
