Electrical Input
Requirements
Input voltage: 480 VAC (3 Phase + Neutral + Earth), 60Hz
Full Load Amperage: 215 Amps (at rated power)
Breaker Capacity: 300 Amps
These charger have 4 doors (i.e. front, rear, left, and right). Clearances of 30 in. distance on the front and rear
sides, and 24 in. distance on the left and right sides, are to be maintained at all times in order to allow for
proper air circulation and cooling. This clearance also allows the opening of doors for maintenance
procedures.
For relocation or lifting of the charger and mounting pad, a forklift or crane may be used. Provisions for such
an action have been included in this document.
Charger Dimensions (LxDxH): 29.5” x 25.59” x 73.5”
A flat concrete base with a vertical gradient of no more than 5% will be provided, with a provision for electrical
service wires to exit the concrete pad in the location as defined in this document.
The mounting pad shall be made of concrete cement, with approximate dimensions of 3 ft. wide by 2 ft. deep,
in order to accommodate the weight and dimensions of the base. Place the charger on the concrete mounting
pad with anchor studs using lock washers and nuts.
To meet ADA requirements, the concrete mounting pad shall not exceed 6 in. above the place of the parking
lot.
Suitable bollards should be outfitted in order to restrict the approach of an electric vehicle (EV) to the charger.
Bollard position shall be in accordance with any applicable local code(s).
Input cables must be copper (3P+N); flexible copper is preferred. Please see the table, listed on the next
page, for cable gauge requirements.
Depending on the situation and cable type, the cables must be embedded in the ground with the proper cable
ducts.
Reliable, protective grounding must be provided at all times. It is recommended to have a separate, dedicated
ground exclusively for the charger in order to ensure the highest degree of safety. The ground resistance
should be less than or equal to 4Ω. Copper cable in accordance with the NEC shall be used to connect the charger
housing to the external ground.
A breaker (3P+N) with suitable current capacity, dependent upon the charger rating provided, is required. This
shall be in accordance with the NEC, typically 1.25 times the full load amperage.
Copper lugs (flat type) for the input cable and earth cable should be provided, and shall be sized dependent
on the size of the cable.
Do not let any flammable, explosive or flammable materials, chemicals, flammable vapors, and/or other
dangerous goods within close proximity of the charger.
The charger is rated IP54. In areas which see flooding, heavy rain, storms, snow, or other harsh weather
conditions, ChargeTronix recommends erecting a canopy over and above the charger for the equipment’s
protection.
Confirm beforehand that the intended installation site has a load capacity sufficient to support this equipment.
Charging cable length will vary between 13 ft. and 16 ft., depending on options.
