Charging Cable - Volvo XC 90 Owner's Manual

Example 2
If the car is connected to a 230 VAC/10 A
socket and the control unit is set at 10 A, then
the car will draw 10 A from the 230 VAC mains
power circuit. If additional consumers are con-
nected to the same socket (or another socket in
the same fuse circuit) then there is a risk that the
fuse for the socket/fuse socket will be overloa-
ded and triggered, at which point battery charg-
ing is stopped.
In such cases, reset the fuse for the socket/fuse
circuit and select a lower charging current on the
control unit - or disconnect other consumers
from the socket/fuse circuit.
Example 3
If the car is connected to a 230 VAC/10 A
socket and the control unit is set at 6 A, then the
car will only draw 6 A from the 230 VAC mains
power circuit. Battery charging will of course take
longer, but then additional consumers can be
connected at the same time to the same socket/
fuse circuit as long as the total load does not
exceed the capacity of the socket/fuse circuit.

WARNING
The charging cable must not be used if any
part of it is damaged - there is then the risk of
electric shock and serious personal injury.
A damaged or inoperative charging cable
must only be repaired by a workshop - an
authorised Volvo workshop is recommended.
IMPORTANT
Never unplug the charging cable from the
230 VAC socket while charging is in progress
- there is then a risk of damaging the
230 VAC socket.
Always stop charging first before unplugging
the charging cable from the car's charging
socket and then from the 230 VAC-socket.
