Ground fault breaker in charging cable

The charging cable's control unit1 has a built-in ground fault breaker that protects the car and the user from electric shocks caused by system faults.

 Warning

The car must only be charged from approved, grounded wall sockets. If the capacity of the electric circuit or electrical socket is unknown, contact a qualified electrician to check the capacity of the electric circuit. Using a state of charge that exceeds the capacity of the electric circuit or electrical socket may cause fire or damage the electric circuit.

 Warning

The charging cable's ground fault breaker helps to protect the car's charging system, but cannot guarantee that overload will never occur.

 Important

The ground fault breaker does not protect the wall socket/electrical installation.
