The installation must be performed by qualified personnel only. 6.1 Installation conditions / Environmental requirements The charger can be used outdoors.
It is mandatory to install a circuit breaker with C or B curve, 40A, before the charger input. If there are uncertainties about how to choose the appropriate short-circuit protection device, please contact the manufacturer. 6.4 Installation of the protection against residual current In compliancy with the IEC 61851-1 standard, the charger contains an appropriate circuit that ensures the disconnection of the supply in case of DC fault current above 6mA (DC Leak protection circuit).
For three-phase charger, in a power supply system with a neutral line, the voltage between the phase line and the neutral line cannot be higher than the rated voltage requirement (240VAC). 6.8 Installation steps In the following all the steps to perform for a correct installation of the wallbox: Step Description Picture...
