Power Xpress™ Bollard Charge Station Installation Guide Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) Tripped If the EVSE detects a ground fault, power will be interrupted and the STATUS LED will illuminate (red flash with intermittent green). The EVSE will attempt to reset automatically and re-attempt charging (see note below on European models). If the fault condition persists after an initial automatic attempt, per the code, the EVSE waits 15 minutes before a second attempt is made.
