Hi, I have an Elcon PFC2500 charger. I happened to notice today that the bicolor LED was completely off. According to Elcon:
I also asked Elcon where is the fuse and how can I test the aux power supply, to which they replied:
Has anyone opened up one of these units?
Has anyone else seen this? It happened quite suddenly, as far as I can tell (meaning, not when first plugged in, for example). I connected to the EVSE this morning, watched it for several seconds, saw that it was on and charging (LED=red) and then went in to work. At lunch it hadn't charged very much and that's when I saw the LED was off (though the fans were running).If the LED is not lit then either the AC input fuse is blown (the AC fans don't go through the fuse) or the auxiliary power supply is dead. If you hear a faint click when the charger is plugged in, the AC fuse is OK. The auxiliary power supply is not repairable.
I also asked Elcon where is the fuse and how can I test the aux power supply, to which they replied:
Well, of course it can be tested! Right? If it's a power supply it must output power, and I should be able to measure that. But I guess "where" is the secret (along with the location of the AC input fuse).The AC input fuse is inside the charger. You cannot test the auxiliary power supply.
Has anyone opened up one of these units?
