bird Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Hello, I just picked up a Lynx a few days ago. It seems like an amazing wheel already and I'm excited to put lots of miles on it. The past few times I have tried to charge the wheel, my circuit breaker keeps tripping when the wheel is balancing around 100%. I assume this is due to the high voltage of the wheel drawing a lot of power from the outlet. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal for high voltage EUC? This never happened with my 134V EX30. Is there anything I can do to avoid this from happening? In the meantime, I am going to experiment charging on different outlets throughout my apartment, and maybe with less devices plugged in.

noonewantstobepeterchris Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) The house *CB? That should not trip, especially at low loads. Is it a fault or arc detection breaker? Edited May 8 by noonewantstobepeterchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 (edited) It's just a regular circuit breaker box like every other one I've seen, not sure how to tell if it's an arc detection breaker. It's also a new apartment building, so it shouldn't be due to crappy old wiring or something. The last couple of times this happened, I noticed the charger would go from: 1. Fan on, red light 2. Wait 1 second 3. Fan off, green light 4. Wait 1 second And repeat this cycle until the circuit breaker triggered. The timing of the switch from red to green and back was very consistent -- always one second on, then one second off. This is not like the random green/red flickering you see when a battery is close to 100%. Maybe this helps point to some root cause? I'm pretty perplexed but will keep the thread updated if I find anything else out. Since I posted this thread, I reset the breaker and put the charger back on, and this behavior hasn't happened again.

Here is an intro video: Additionally, what is the model number of the breaker? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
