⚡🚗 EV Charger Servicing & Safety Checks in Gloucester
Is your home EV charger safe, reliable and working as efficiently as it should?
Your EV charger works hard throughout the year, often charging your vehicle daily in all weather conditions. But when was the last time you had it professionally inspected and tested?
Like any outdoor electrical equipment, EV chargers can deteriorate over time. Weather exposure, regular use and electrical connections can all affect safety, performance and reliability.
🔍 Why Is EV Charger Servicing Important?
Although there is no fixed legal annual servicing requirement for domestic EV chargers, a professional yearly inspection is a sensible precaution to identify developing faults, reduce electrical risks and maintain reliable charging.
🔧 What Does a Professional EV Charger Service & Safety Test Include?
A proper EV charger inspection goes beyond a simple visual check. At Sunrise Electrical, we use specialist electrical test equipment, including an EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) tester, to simulate vehicle charging conditions and verify the operation of important safety systems.
✅ RCD/RCBO Trip Time Testing – Checking that electrical safety devices disconnect the supply within the required times under fault conditions.
✅ Earth Fault Loop Impedance Testing – Verifying the effectiveness of the electrical earthing and fault protection arrangements.
✅ EVSE Functional Testing – Simulating an electric vehicle connection to check charger operation, control signals and safety functions.
✅ Electrical Connections & Thermal Checks – Inspecting accessible connections for loose terminals, overheating and deterioration, with thermal imaging where appropriate.
✅ Open-PEN Protection Checks – Verifying the operation of applicable protective arrangements, particularly on PME/TN-C-S electrical installations.
✅ Charging Cable & Enclosure Inspection – Checking for physical damage, moisture ingress, wear and deterioration caused by outdoor exposure.
✅ Firmware & Smart Charging Checks – Reviewing software updates, connectivity and smart charging functionality where supported by the manufacturer.
