EVSE type and supply;Tester rating and supported pilot states;Protective-earth result;Fault response and reset behavior
Why this matters
Tool value depends on the question it can answer safely, the vehicles and systems it truly supports, and the repeatability of the result.
Evidence to capture first
- Inspect the outlet, cable, and connector
- Use the tester exactly as rated
- Run only supported simulations
- Document results and refer internal EVSE or fixed-wiring repair
A disciplined path
- Mains voltage and charging equipment can kill. Fixed wiring and internal EVSE service belong to qualified electrical personnel.
