⌚Happy Friday people! Is it that time again already?!
?This weeks’ find has been brought to you by Guardians very own Jamie Dodds who discovered the following pictures whilst recently conducting an EVSE test at a client’s site.
?If you look closely, you can see the burnt-out conductor within this EV charger! This would’ve been caused due to an overload or a loose connection.
✅Luckily for this client, the hazard was identified before any further use of the charger & therefore preventing any devastating consequences from occurring such as fire hazards, electrical shocks, system failures & any serious damage to both the vehicle and the sites surroundings.
?Regulation 433.1.1 – Circuits should be designed so that a small overload of a long duration is unlikely to occur.
?Regulation 526.1 – Every electrical connection between conductors and other equipment shall provide durable electrical continuity
