How is a software fault on a networked EVSE typically resolved first?
Answer: Remote firmware update or local reset procedure
Many networked EVSE units support remote firmware updates or local resets to clear software faults without requiring physical component replacement.
What should be verified during a post-installation commissioning check of an EVSE?
Answer: Torque on all electrical connections and GFCI functionality
Post-installation commissioning must verify proper torque on all electrical connections and confirm that GFCI protection is functioning correctly.
When diagnosing slow EV charging, which factor should be investigated first?
Answer: The configured maximum current output of the EVSE
The configured maximum current output of the EVSE directly determines charging speed and must be verified against the installation design specifications.
What is the recommended minimum frequency for inspecting outdoor EVSE for physical damage and weather seal integrity?
Answer: Annually
Annual inspection of outdoor EVSE for physical damage and weather seal integrity maintains safety and prevents moisture infiltration failures.
Which condition typically causes an EVSE to enter sleep or standby mode automatically?
Answer: No vehicle connected for an extended period
Most EVSE units enter sleep or standby mode automatically when no vehicle has been connected for a configured time period to conserve energy.
What is the recommended action if corroded terminals are found inside an EVSE during routine inspection?
Answer: Clean with appropriate electrical contact cleaner or replace affected components
Corroded terminals must be cleaned with appropriate electrical contact cleaner or replaced to maintain safe and reliable EVSE operation.
