A normal domestic or small business power connection is not sufficient.
Measure, check and report the position of the cables between the power distribution board
and the Power Cabinet and the cables between the Power Cabinet and the ACS Control
Module.
Contact your electricity retailer and/or grid owner if a grid upgrade is required. Ask about the
work that is needed to upgrade the connection to meet the requirements described in section
Electrical installation on Page 36.

3.2.2. Construction permit

The installation of the HVC-PD E-Bus Charger requires the following construction work:

A solid base.

Work permit.

Cable conduits for cables between the power distribution board and the Power
Cabinet. Usually these cable conduits are installed below ground.

Cable conduits for cables between the Power Cabinet and ACS Control Module.

Parking spaces for the bus.

Signs on the road or next to the road to position the bus.
Contact your local government to obtain information about the necessary permits.

3.2.3. Internet access

The HVC-PD E-Bus Charger requires a connection to the internet. This connection is used for
serviceability, remote access by ABB Service department.
There are two options for the internet connection:

Wireless, which requires coverage to a 3G network at the location. This is the preferred
connection. A 3G modem with active SIM card is included with the HVC-PD E-Bus
Charger (a customer SIM card is not required).

Ethernet (RJ45). If there is no 3G signal available, a wired internet connection must be
available at the location. For this option, contact ABB Sales department (see Contact
information on Page 14 for contact details).
