Possible causes

What to record

Record when it trips, any app/error message, charger model, vehicle, weather conditions and photos of the charger and consumer unit where safe.

Frequently asked questions

Should I keep resetting it?

Repeated tripping should be investigated rather than repeatedly reset without understanding the cause.
