KEMPOWER Power Unit - Planning the Electric Vehicle Charging Site

4. PLANNING THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING SITE
DANGER
Electric vehicle charging equipment must be located at a safe distance from
potentially explosive atmospheres. Know and obey local laws and regulations.
NOTICE
The site plan is the customer's responsibility. Kempower does not provide plans for
individual installations.
NOTICE
Branding according to Kempower Branding Guidelines. Applying additional painting
or stickers to the unit by the customer voids the warranty.
NOTE
See the product datasheets for the dimensions and weights of the units. Product
datasheets are available at mediabank.kempower.com.
As the requirements of individual installations vary significantly, it is not
possible to give detailed instructions that are valid for all sites. Take into
account at least the following general issues when you plan the layout of
the electric vehicle charging site:
•
The local rules and requirements on civil works, electrical installations,
cable routing, and cable dimensioning. Cable dimensioning is the
electrical designer's responsibility. For assistance, contact
Kempower
Sales Support.
•
When you determine cable lengths:
• Leave an additional 1000 mm of supply power cable length above
the installation surface.
• For Satellites, leave an additional 1700 mm of control cable and
communication cable length above the installation surface.
• How the units are moved to and within the installation site. The
maximum allowed tilting for the charging power units is 6 degrees.
• The installation surfaces of the site:
• The units can be installed directly on a flat, level, and solid
surface that can withstand the weight of the unit, or on concrete
foundations that are prefabricated or made on site. See
13:
Examples of concrete foundations.
•
The cables can be routed above or below the ground. If the cables
are installed in cable channels, make sure that the cable channels
are wide enough for all required cables.
