Power Electronics recommends making a concrete foundation slab to support the
recharging posts. The support surface for the equipment must be perfectly level. The
client is responsible for the correct dimensioning and construction of the foundation in
accordance with current regulations. The foundation must meet the following
characteristics:
•+ It is recommended to install a layer of cleaning concrete between the ground and the foundation.
•+ The sizing should be appropriate for the weight of the equipment and the characteristics of the soil
•+ It must be thick enough to support the equipment.
•+ It must have trenches wide enough to ensure proper wiring passage.
•+ It is advisable to leave the slab at the same level as the ground to facilitate maintenance works.
•+ If the slab is above ground level, the maximum height allowed is 200mm (7.87inches).
The client is responsible for building a solid concrete base perfectly leveled and elevated
with respect to the user's floor height.
In case of specification of variable actions such as snow, wind or earthquake, the slab
must comply with the following requirements, not being excluding those indicated by
the specific regulations of the country of installation:
•+Ability to withstand compression forces of 25N/mm2.
•+Steel reinforcement capable of withstanding tensile forces of 500N/mm2.
•+Taking into account severe wind conditions (60m/s), the reinforcement should be
dimensioned as follows:
!+The longitudinal side of the reinforcement must be able to withstand forces of up to 80kN.
!+The transverse side of the reinforcement must be able to withstand forces of up to 10kN.
Note that the thickness of the slab must be determined from the results of the
geotechnical study.
