CP_a018
Tesla Dynamic Load Management / Current Limiting Triggered

Wall Connector shows CP_a018; charging current is reduced significantly below configured maximum

Possible Causes

Configured current limit via Tesla app or building energy management, External control signal reducing current, Misconfigured load management settings, Faulty current sensor reading high load

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Current limiting itself is not dangerous, but misconfiguration can lead to nuisance undercharging.

  • Check app settings: In the Tesla app (if supported), verify that no scheduled or permanent current limit is set lower than desired.
  • Review load management: If the Wall Connector is integrated with a building energy management system, confirm that its control signals are correct and not erroneously limiting current.
  • Standalone test: Temporarily disable external load management and test the Wall Connector alone to see if it can deliver full configured current.
  • Verify breaker configuration: Ensure the Wall Connector is commissioned with the correct breaker size; it will automatically limit current to 80% of that value.
  • If current remains limited without external controls: The internal current sensor or firmware may be faulty; contact Tesla or replace the Wall Connector.
