Ground fault breaker in charging cable
The charging cable's control unit1 has a built-in ground fault breaker that protects the car and the user from electric shocks caused by system faults.
Warning
Charging the car must only take place with approved, grounded wall sockets. If the capacity of the electric circuit or electrical socket is unknown, contact a qualified electrician to check the capacity of the electric circuit. Using a charge level that exceeds the capacity of the electric circuit or electrical socket may cause fire or damage the electric circuit.
Warning
- The charging cable's ground fault breaker helps to protect the car's charging system, but cannot guarantee that overload will never occur.
Important
The ground fault breaker does not protect the wall socket/electrical installation.
LED lamp
If the control unit's built-in ground fault breaker is tripped then the LED lamp illuminates with a red constant glow - check the wall socket. Ask a licensed electrician to check the socket or try to use another electrical socket.
Important
- Check the capacity of the socket.
- Other electronic equipment connected to the same fuse circuit must be disconnected if the total load is exceeded.
- Do not connect the charging cable if the socket is damaged, worn or defective.
