Residual current device in charging cable

The charging cable has a circuit breaker that helps protect against current overloads and thermal overheating.

 Warning

Charging the high-voltage battery may only be done from approved, grounded 120-/240 V outlets (AC, alternating current). If the electrical circuit or electrical socket's capacity is not known, let a licensed electrician inspect the electrical circuit's capacity. Using a charge level that exceeds the electrical circuit's or electrical outlet's capacity may start a fire or damage the electrical circuit.

 Warning

  • The charging cable's residual current breaker helps protect the vehicle's charging system but cannot ensure that an current overload will never occur.
  • Never use visibly worn or damaged electrical outlets. Doing so could lead to fires or serious injury.
  • Never connect the charging cable to an extension cord.
  • Maintenance or replacement of the high-voltage battery may only be performed by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
  • Do not use any charging cable other than the recommended one.
  • Do not use an external timer between the charging cable and the electrical outlet.
  • Do not use any adapters between the charging cable and the electrical outlet.

 Important

  • Check the capacity of the socket.
  • Other electronic equipment connected on the same fuse circuit must be disconnected if the total load is exceeded.
  • Do not connect the charging cable if the socket is damaged.
