Page 8: Note On Electrical Power
ChargePoint Charging Stations Note on electrical power The CPE200 requires both 480 VAC, 3 phase (L1, L2, L3, G) and 120 VAC, single phase (L, N, G). The 120 VAC can be brought from a nearby 208/120V panel or, if allowed by the local AHJ, a low power transformer can be set at the installation site, eliminating the need for a second conduit run and second disconnect switch. -
Page 9: Planning Your Installation
Planning your installation The CPE200 is fastened to a prepared concrete pad using four anchor bolts (not supplied). The pad must be level and flat and be a minimum of 2,500 PSI. The concrete pad must support the size and weight of the CPE200 and comply with all applicable codes. -
Page 10: Conduit Locations
NOTE: For your convenience you can also purchase a prefabricated plywood template directly from ChargePoint (Part Number CPE200T-BT). Locate mounting studs and conduit within .05” tolerance. The 1-1/4” threaded female coupling must be flush with the surface of the pad and precisely located relative to the mounting studs. -
Page 11: Above Ground Conduit
Planning your installation Above ground conduit Above ground conduit is recommended only in locations such as a parking garage where it may be impossible to accommodate service wiring from underground.
