The silent enemy: an unstable mains supply The most common cause of BCB faults is not the car itself, but unstable mains supply conditions. Typical problems that damage the system: Voltage spikes (overvoltages) Voltage drops (undervoltages) Harmonics and electrical signal distortion Installations without adequate protection These phenomena force the BCB to operate outside its normal parameters, damaging one of its most sensitive components: the Infineon IGBT.

The silent enemy: an unstable mains supply<\/span><\/h2>\n\n
\nWhen the network experiences power spikes or fluctuations:<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n
\nThis type of failure is very common in Renault ZOEs and usually results in the need to repair or replace the BCB.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\nPower surges and fluctuations not only damage the system, but can also cause the Infineon IGBT to burn out, leaving your car unable to charge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nIf your car has charging problems, we can help you diagnose, repair and protect the system to prevent future breakdowns.<\/p>\n
