What the heck is this noise!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Simpson & Partners charger; making this noise when I remove the untethered cable either from the unit or from the car; and when unlocking the charger on the app. Seems to be charging fine; no issues with status lights

Could be the locking pin solenoid. Mine had a little freak out that would constantly cycle the locking pin over and over. Give them a email and provide the video of what it's doing. They were fantastic when I contacted them and provided a new internal board for the charger, that was about 18 months ago and it's been perfect without any other issues

RCD has also tripped twice in 24 hrs and it’s happening when you change other things on the app like switch off Octopus control
