Dangers due to electric current

2.5.1

Protection against ingress of liquid

The IP54 degree of protection of the cabinet protects the charging station from ingress of
water splashing against it from all directions. The protection standard prevents ingress of
precipitation and any liquid not under pressure that comes into contact with the enclosure
surface.
Also protect the charging station from liquids that exert pressure on the surface of the
cabinet:
• Never use a pressure washer or steam cleaner to clean the charging station.
• Set up the charging station at a flood-proof location.
Electric shock due to ingress of liquid
Strong jets of water or flooding can cause liquid to enter the charging station. Moisture or
liquid inside the charging station can cause electric shock.
Observe the following points when there is a risk that liquid may have entered the charging
station:
• Take the charging station out of operation by switching it off at the electrical distributor.
• Qualified personnel must dry the charging station and check it for damage.
