  • Page 5: Safety Precautions

    1 Safety precautions 1.1 Intended use The charging station is intended only for electric vehicle charging and should not be used to charge any other appliances or devices or for any other purposes. No flammable materials or liquids should be used or stored in the direct vicinity of the charging station. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage or injuries resulting from incorrect installation or inappropriate use of the product.

  • Page 6: Description Of The Product

    2 Description of the product 2.1 Basic functionalities The public charging station from Etrel is highly configurable and can be tailored to the client’s specific needs. It allows simultaneous charging of two vehicles with power of up to 2x22 kW and can be equipped with any standard Type 2 - IEC 62196-2 sockets.
  • Page 7 Figure 1: Exterior dimensions of the charging station's casing The casing of the charging station is robust enough to withstand any unfavourable weather conditions and potential damage which may occur in open public areas. The compact dimensions of the charging station allow its installation on a small area, for example close to the edge of the pavement or roadside kerb.
  • Page 8 Figure 2: Arrangement of equipment inside the station The figure above shows the general arrangement of equipment inside the charging station. The station comprises several different functional units: 1. Grid connection module of the charging station, which contains terminals for all supply wires (L1, L2, L3, PE, N);...

  • Page 10: Preparation Before Construction Works And Installation

    3 Preparation before construction works and installation 3.1 Permits Location and building permit: The charging station is considered to be a simple object; therefore there is usually no need to acquire any building permits for its installation. If the installation site is a part of municipal property, consent of the relevant authorities must be acquired before the charging station can be installed.

  • Page 11: Grid Connection

    (on the Control centre level), forward events that occur during its operation and execute billing for the services performed. The connection also enables communication from the Control centre towards the charging station, which enables remote access to the station for needs of maintenance or remote control.

    o Overcurrent protection should be at least one class greater than the one used at the grid connection point of the charging station; o Differential protection (RCD) which is used in the charging station operates at a low current (ΔI is 30 mA and without delay). The selectivity of this protection on the level of facility is achieved with a higher delay or a greater current differential.

  • Page 13: Placement Of The Charging Station In The Environment

    3.4 Placement of the charging station in the environment 3.4.1 Required space Basic installation of the charging station requires a space of approximately 650 mm x 390 mm. If the charging station is installed together with safety arches, dimensions of the required space are approximately 850 mm x 450 mm.
  • Page 14 • Street (pavement) placing The charging station must be placed so that it does not interfere with pedestrian mobility while providing EV charging services. When certain interference is unavoidable, the placement of the station should prioritise pedestrian safety and minimise the risks of tripping over charging cables or suffering collisions with the station.

  • Page 15: Possible Parking Arrangements

    • Parking garage placement In the parking garage placement, the specific installation of supply cables needs to be considered. These cables are usually routed on the ceiling of the parking garage. A wall mount charging station is also available from the manufacturer. It can be equipped with one charging socket and mounted directly to a concrete wall or column.

  • Page 16: Recommendations

    The figures above show some of the most often used parking arrangements. Both options (for the charging cable to be plugged at either the front or the rear end of the vehicle) are considered. The last figure shows the option of four EVs charging on two stations. Each charging station can serve more than two parking spaces, taking into account that only two vehicles can be actually plugged in at the same time.

The dimensions of the underground anchoring element are: •...
  • Page 19 • Basic depth without reinforcing steel: 380 mm. The underground anchoring element is made of stainless steel. The underground anchor is optimised for shipping and needs to be assembled before construction by following the steps below: 1. Screw nuts on each anchor rod. You have six (6) rods in the anchor package. Be careful to observe the nut positions on the rod as pictured below: Figure 6: Anchor rod with initial screw positions 2.
  • Page 20 Figure 7: Insertion of anchor rods into the upper frame 3. Place the L profile on the bottom of the anchor. Place all tree rods in one line into the L profile holes and screw nuts also on the bottom of the L profile, where the rod enters through the L profile.

    The upper plate of the foundation has an opening for the insertion of supply cables. During installation, a pipe with a sufficient bending radius is placed into the foundation (see Figure 15). The pipe is later used for the insertion and connection of supply cables. The upper part of the foundation is equipped with a frame with the height of 60 mm.

    the foundation. The basic excavation is suitable for installation of charging station without safety arches. Dimensions of the basic excavation are 42 cm x 55 cm, with the minimum depth of 60 cm. One of the requirements of basic installation is to carefully observe that the height of the upper edge of foundation is precisely aligned with the height of surface finish in the area around the charging station.

    4. The concrete works can be started at this point. First the area around the installation pipe is concreted, where the pipe must remain accessible after the concrete works are finished. 5. Once the concrete reaches the level of the frame, the concrete works continue through the upper opening of the underground anchoring element, where the installation pipe is placed.
  • Page 25 There are several guidelines that need to be observed when installing safety arches: 1. The safety arches protect the front side of the charging station, therefore the arch must be aligned with the rear side of the station (underground anchoring structure), 2.
  • Page 26 Figure 12: Longitudinal section of the excavation with one safety arch The figures above show a longitudinal section of the excavation in all cases where the charging station is combined with safety arches. The arches must be removed at least 15 cm from the sides of the charging station to enable normal opening of station's maintenance doors.

    When multiple charging stations are installed in a single area, the cables can be routed in several different ways. The figure above shows an example where the first charging station serves as a starting point for other stations. Power cables and any type of communication cables are routed to this first station, which is then connected to the next station with a separate power cable and a separate communication cable.

    8 Service and maintenance 8.1 General inspection of the station The charging infrastructure operator should perform regular inspections of the charging stations (preventive maintenance). Public charging stations are often exposed to harsh climate conditions and mechanical damage. Critical damage of the casing or other components of the charging station can affect user safety.

  • Page 47: Diagnostics Of The Functioning Of The Station

    For testing purposes, the maintenance staff should use a test cable with a IEC 62196-2 Type 2 plug, where a connection with a IEC 61851 standard vehicle can be simulated. The service doors of the station can be opened by lifting unlocked doors and slightly opening them at the same time, then slightly lifting them once more and opening them completely.
