To connect AC supply wires:
1. Plan the route that the AC supply wiring will follow from the
source (usually an AC distribution panel) to the XPLORE
Charger.
2. Measure and cut the required length of three-conductor
(G/PE, L, N) cable allowing some extra length for
connections and providing some slack [6 in. (150 mm)
suggested].
3. Unscrew the wiring compartment cover, if not already from
the previous step, and feed cables through the appropriate
cable glands (as applicable).
4. Carefully remove 3 in. (75 mm ) of the outer jacket from the
AC supply wiring, being careful not to cut or nick the
insulation on the individual wires (conductors).
5. Strip each wire 3/8 in. (10 mm ) and crimp a wire ferrule over
each one.
6. Connect the G/PE-L-N wires to the XPLORE Charger AC
terminal by lifting the clamp lever, inserting the ferrule tip,
and pushing the lever down and securing the ferrule tip with
the clamp (see Figure 14 Method 1). Method 2 also allows
you to push the ferrule tip of the wire into the slot without
using the lever.
NOTE: Connect the ground to the AC ground, the line
30
conductor to the AC line, and the neutral conductor to AC
neutral. The wires are color coded as follows:

7. Connect the AC supply wiring from the charger to the AC
panel feeding the charger.
8. Connect the line conductor to the breaker, the neutral to the
neutral bus, and the ground to the ground bus. In Canada
and the USA, an external junction box is required between
the AC circuit breaker and the charger.
