The vehicle is equipped with an electrical fuse
whic h protects it against overvoltage in the
mains supply. This electrical fuse may trip dur-
ing severe thunderstorms, for example, and
may cause the fuse in the building to trip or
may interrupt the charging process. These
functions protect the vehicle.
Aser the fuse in the building is switched on
again, the charging process resumes automat-
ically. Following an interruption in the power
supply without the fuse in the building being
tripped, it may take up to ten minutes for
charging to resume automatically. Ending the alternating current charging process
