The ABB Terra DC Wallbox is a DC fast charger designed for electric vehicles, providing quick and efficient charging. It is an electrical installation that handles high electric currents. The device is intended for use by site operators responsible for its operation, daily inspection, and maintenance, as well as by EV drivers who will interact with its user interface.
The Terra DC Wallbox charger consists of at least one power cabinet and is solely used to charge electric vehicles compatible with supported charging standards. It typically draws power from the grid. The charger supports various DC charging standards, including CCS (Combined Charging System) and CHAdeMO. Depending on the configuration, it can have one CCS outlet, one CHAdeMO outlet, or both. However, simultaneous charging with both CCS and CHAdeMO outlets is not possible in the dual-outlet configuration.
The charger can output a continuous power of 22.5 kW, with a peak output capability of 24 kW. Its output power versus voltage curve indicates that it can operate efficiently across a wide voltage range, supporting both 400VDC and 800VDC architecture battery packs. The continuous output power may be limited when the ambient temperature exceeds the optimal operating range of -35 °C to +45 °C, with an overheating protection algorithm linearly derating the unit up to +55 °C (in locations not exposed to direct solar radiation). Automatic current limitation is also in place for Vout ranges of 480-675 Vdc and 150-350 Vdc. For 1-phase 208V L-N AC supplied versions, the input max current limitation to 100A restricts the maximum output power to 19.2kW at 208 Vac.
The Terra DC Wallbox features a Human Machine Interface (HMI) display that guides users through the charging process with pictograms and texts, optimized for understandability and user experience. Help screens are available to provide additional information.
Charging an electric vehicle involves a few simple steps:
Important notices for users include:
The owner and site operator have several responsibilities to ensure the safe and proper functioning of the charger:
The Terra DC Wallbox cabinet should be cleaned annually as part of yearly maintenance:
In corrosion-sensitive environments, superficial rust may form on welding points. This is primarily visual and does not compromise the cabinet's integrity. It can be removed with the described cleaning procedure. To prevent recurrence, prime the areas with a transparent or color-like priming finish.
The charger must be checked by ABB service personnel before further use if:
The air filters should be inspected every 12 months and replaced if required. The environment and number of charging sessions may influence the frequency of replacements.
In case of a vehicle crash, fire, or fluid spill, specific procedures will be defined in future revisions of the manual. For general problem resolution, the site operator or helpdesk is the first point of contact and can remotely solve simple issues. For more complex problems, ABB Service may request the site operator to report on the status of internal components.
For problem analysis and solving, users should contact their local ABB Service organization or Service partner. If they cannot resolve the problem, they will escalate it to the second-line Service organization.
