Precautions for Normal Charging
1. Proper maintenance of earthling pit is must.
Add water & add salts at regular intervals into
the earth pits in order to maintain the value of
earth resistance. Check annually the condition
of the electrodes so as to add or replace
electrodes.
2. The electrical socket used for EV charging
and its associated wiring should be able to
supply 15A dedicated load continuously.
3. Check the charging inlet for accumulation of
dust or any foreign objects.
