Residual-current device
Mode 2 charging cables have a built-in residual-current device that protects the car and the user from electric shocks caused by system faults.
Warning
The residual-current device helps to protect the car's charging system, but there is no guarantee that an overload never occurs.
Important
The residual-current device does not protect the household socket.
Temperature monitoring
The mode 2 cable is also equipped with a control unit, which has a built-in overtemperature monitoring function. This monitors the temperature of both the cable and the household socket.
Important
- Avoid exposing the control unit and its plug connector to direct sunlight. The overheating protection in the plug connector may otherwise reduce or stop the charging of your car.
- If charging is unintentionally stopped, both the charging cable and the car’s charging system should be checked by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. The household socket should also be checked by a licensed electrician.
