1 Introduction

1.1

Preface

This guide describes and highlights the physical installation of the Terra DC Wallbox at
its location.
The Terra DC Wallbox Charging Stations are easy to install DC fast chargers for electric
vehicles. Fast chargers are electrical installations with high electric currents. Therefore,
the installation must be planned carefully, and must be done by certified personnel only
(according to local standards). Local regulations shall take precedence if they list differ-
ent installation requirements than prescribed in this Installation Manual.
The Terra DC Wallbox European and North American version is physically the same
charger. The main difference is the input power they can be supplied by (three-phase for
Europe, single phase or three phase for North Americas). The differences Terra DC Wall-
box EU and NAM, and the consequences for the installation are described in a separate
section 1.3.
As the physical installation of both types is equal, they will be referred to hereafter as
Terra DC Wallbox only and this will account for both types, unless specifically stated
otherwise.
Both types come in different versions, depending on the outlet types. The different ver-
sions are described in a separate paragraph.
Before installing the DC Wallbox, read this installation guide carefully and attentively.
Follow the instructions in this Installation Guide. ABB is not responsible for any damage
that has been caused by not or incorrectly following and executing the instruction de-
scribed in this manual.

Intended document users

This document is intended to be used by:
• Customers who purchased a Terra DC Wallbox, or are in the process of ordering
and want to know in more detail how it has to be installed.
• Contractors who are responsible for site preparation and/or installation of a
Terra DC Wallbox (EU or NAM).
1.3 Similarities and differences between Terra DC
Wallbox EU and NAM
The Terra DC Wallbox EU and NAM chargers are identical in their outer appearance and
physical dimensions. The physical installation of the Terra DC Wallbox EU and NAM can
thus be handled in a very similar way.
