Abstract
Systems, methods, devices, and computer-readable media detect a status of a cable 204, and in particular, a cable of electric supply equipment. An example of electric supply equipment is electric vehicle supply equipment 200, which may be used for charging an electric vehicle 201. The electric vehicle supply equipment 200 may include a cable 204 for delivering electric power from a power source to the electric vehicle 201. Further, the electric vehicle supply equipment 200 may include a cable detection subcircuit 225 for detecting a status of its cable 204. Specifically, the cable detection subcircuit 225 may detect whether the cable 204 has been removed. Further, the electric vehicle supply equipment 200 may take various actions based on results provided by the cable detection subcircuit 225.
