Steps to replace the charging cable

Standard cable extraction

First of all, it is mandatory to turn off the equipment to perform the work safely. Once the absence of voltage has been verified, you must remove the three existing terminals (L, N, and TT) with the help of a suitable screwdriver, as well as the signal wire (CP) corresponding to the standard charging cable of the equipment.
