Please check the sizes of the connector pin openings that none of them got swapped around. For some reason one of the pins on my connector has a wrong size for the wire. I am still able to jam most of the wire into the pin, and the front looks OK (all 5 pin openings are what they should, but definitely the wire attachment is not proper for some reason - apparently they distributed some reject pins with some of the connectors...

It may be something else that is overheating, though it is more likely that the box itself measures something like current drawn or ground fault current or so and decides to shut off for some reason. What is the behavior when it stops? Does the contactor drop out or does the car decide to stop charging or what is going on when it fails?

Any former > Ev plus users with insights? Just a long shot... I have an Avcon PowerPak. I opened it up a few weeks ago to measure the AC current it actually draws while charging my Leaf. I noticed that they used 0.25" quick-connects to connect the AC power. One of them had turned brown, and the other was black! 0.25" quick-connects are *not* good for more than about 15 amps. These would certainly have failed if I hadn't noticed the discoloration. I'm not sure what the failure mode of the Avcon would be, but it may be worth taking a look at your AC input connections. Maybe it would detect the excessive voltage drop on the AC line, and shut down? -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James -- Lee A.
