Site Design; Cable Reach; Different Alignment Possibilities - ABB Terra DC wallbox Installation Manual

3 Site design

A site for EV charging can be designed in many different setups. This section is intended
to give some useful information on the placement of a charger with respect to parking
spaces and the vehicle inlets for the charging cable.
3.1

Cable reach

The charging cables of the Terra DC Wallbox charger can reach from 3.5 to 7 meters long.
The DC cables leave the charger on both right and left sides. The cables and the con-
nectors mounted on the cables are different for each charging standard and make them
more or less flexible to reach out.
The figure below shows an example with the charger in the center with each type of
connector and how far it can reach out. The green circle with continuous line describes
the CHAdeMO cable 3.5m, the red circle with continuous line the CCS cable 3.5m. The
broken lines describe the same type of cables with a length of 7m.
3.2

Different alignment possibilities

The charging inlets on a car can be located at different positions. The most common
cars have their inlets located either on the front of the car, or on the left or right back
side.
