NB360 isolation

Power Electronics NB360 fails isolation during CableCheck, and because the NB360 cabinet uses a multi-module current-share architecture, technicians must confirm whether the fault traces to a single module's contribution or the shared measurement path before opening the whole cabinet. Cable moisture and single-module contamination are the two leading field causes.

Pulsar GFCI trip

Wallbox Pulsar trips GFCI/RCD during rain, wash-down, or cable handling. App/HMI shows ground-fault or protection trip; breaker may also open. Session will not restart until the protective device is reset and the moisture/insulation cause is cleared—not just the reset button mashed.

IQ200 relay welded

Blink IQ200 reports a welded or stuck main relay, or fails its weld-detect self-check, typically right after a hard fault-current event or years of high-cycle depot duty. The stall latches Faulted and stays there — FreeVend and app-initiated sessions are both blocked — while neighboring pedestals on the same pad usually keep working normally, which helps rule out a site-wide power event.

SCH-EV-GFSchneider Electric · EVlink · AC Level 2Free sample

EVlink ground fault

Schneider EVlink trips its ground-fault/residual-current protection during rain, wash-down, or shortly after cable handling, and the fault often recurs on reset in commercial installs where the EVSE shares a panel and bonding path with other loads. A trip that follows the cable when swapped, or that clears dry and holds, narrows the cause quickly before an electrician is called for panel-level bonding work.

BESS-UVFluence / BESS · BESSFree sample

BESS undervoltage at cabinet

Fluence BESS reports an undervoltage (UV) inhibit at the EVSE feed — either the PCS AC output or the shared DC bus — so dependent chargers brown out mid-session or latch Faulted while the BESS HMI independently alarms UV. It shows up most on hot afternoons when several dispensers ramp together and SOC is already drawn down from an overnight fleet pull, so the first minutes of triage are about proving whether the EVSE is really broken or the depot just asked for more than the BESS could deliver at that SOC.

Feeder breaker trip charging peak

The Eaton feeder breaker serving the depot trips right at a charging peak, taking multiple EVSE units Faulted or fully dark at once — the breaker handle sits mid-trip when you find it, and idle voltage checks looked completely normal before the peak, which is exactly the pattern that sends techs chasing individual charger faults instead of the shared feeder that actually failed.

Fleet CMS driver auth fail

A driver's credential or fleet app is rejected by the Ampcontrol CMS even though the charger hardware and OCPP path both look completely healthy — other drivers may authorize and charge normally at the exact same stall within minutes, which is the clearest signal that this is an enrollment or mapping problem in software rather than a reader or connector fault.
