Title: Zero SR 2019 3.6kW homecharge cable (evracing hardware) problem
Post by: koekiedaf on February 19, 2022, 03:02:03 PM
Hi everyone,

Recently i bought an zero SR 2019 with chargetank. I got an quickcharge-cable (type 2 -> type 1) and a 16A homecharge-cable. The last one is quite large so i saw on this forum that you can build your own with the simple-EVSE board from evracing.

After building the cable according to the specs (https://github.com/kortas87/simple-evse/wiki/SimpleEvseJ1772guide) it seems to be working and the bike accepts charging at 3.6kW, however, when i stop charging (press the microswitch on the type1 connector) it trips the breaker in my house! I really have no idea why, it just sounds like pressing the microswitch disengages the relay, so it should actually not be possible to make a short circuit.

Does anyone have an idea how this can happen?

Regards, David
