Charging cable with control unit -
temperature monitoring
In order for the car's hybrid battery to be
charged (p. 286) safely every time, the control
unit (p. 289) has a built-in monitoring device
for the charging current.
The control unit's monitoring device ensures
that the permissible charging current (p. 286)
is automatically adjusted to take into account
the safety aspect. This ensures safe operation
without supervision as well as optimised
charging time.
NOTE
Use a charging cable recommended by
Volvo in accordance with IEC 62196 and
IEC 61851 that supports temperature
monitoring.
Temperature fuse
Temperature monitoring is activated automat-
ically when the car's hybrid battery starts
charging. If a critical temperature is reached
then the charging current is lowered. If this
happens repeatedly and then charging is
switched off.

IMPORTANT
If the temperature monitoring has automat-
ically lowered the charging current repeat-
edly and charging has been interrupted
then the cause of the overheating must be
investigated and rectified.
Charging cable with control unit -
ground fault breaker
The control unit for the charging cable (p.
289) has a built-in ground fault breaker that
protects the car and the user from electric
shocks caused by system faults.
If the control module's built-in ground fault
breaker is tripped then the car symbol illumi-
nates with red constant glow - check the
230 VAC socket.
IMPORTANT
The control unit's earth fault switch does
not protect the 230 VAC socket.
