Iss 1.3 Aug 2019 EVSE Protocol Controller (EPC) Manual | Viridian EV SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 CAUTIONS & DANGERS CAUTION: PLEASE OBSERVE THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND LEGAL NOTES Installation requirements vary by country, state, and jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the legal installation requirements are met.
EVSE Protocol Controller (EPC) Manual | Viridian EV DESCRIPTION 3.1 EPC FEATURES The Viridian EV EPC is a product which is intended for use in charging stations for electric vehicles. DEVICE VERSIONS • Viridian EV EPC s have part numbers in this format: E(1)(2)(3).
3.2 APPLICATION EXAMPLE The following shows a schematic application example of an electric vehicle charging post with Viridian EV EPCs. For example, feeder option A has a circuit breaker and an Insta contactor. Feeder option B has a circuit breaker and a SIRIUS power contactor.
The 32A and 63A versions of the free cable Viridian EV EPC are capable of generating different enabling signals depending on the current carrying capacity that is detected. For charging cables that have a current carrying capacity of 16A according to IEC 61851, relay P1/P2 is activated.
