DC Charger
• It is recommended that the ground should not exceed the level of the foundation.
• Soil compaction degree of 98%.
• Maximum land unevenness of 0.25%.
Site basis
The manufacturer recommends making a concrete foundation slab to support the charger. The support
surface for the equipment must be perfectly level. The client is responsible for the correct
dimensioning and construction of the foundation in accordance with current regulations. The
foundation must meet the following characteristics:
• It is recommended that a layer of cleaning concrete be installed between the ground and the foundation.
• The sizing should be appropriate for the weight of the equipment and the characteristics of the soil.
• It must be thick enough to support the equipment.
• It must have trenches wide enough to ensure proper wiring passage (the suggested cable access size is
shown below).
NOTICE
The client is responsible for building a solid concrete base perfectly leveled and elevated with respect
to the user's floor height.
The equipment is not designed for mobile installations. In case of installing the equipment over a mobile
platform, the warranty may be voided.
For further information on this kind of applications, please contact the manufacturer.
In case of specification of variable actions such as snow, wind or earthquake, the slab must comply with the
following requirements, not excluding those indicated by the specific regulations of the country of
installation:
• Ability to withstand compression forces of 3626 psi.
• Steel reinforcement capable of withstanding tensile forces of 72519 psi.
• Considering severe wind conditions (134.216 mph), the reinforcement should be dimensioned as follows:
The longitudinal side of the reinforcement must be able to withstand forces of up to 17985 lbf.
The transverse side of the reinforcement must be able to withstand forces of up to 2248 lbf.
Note that the thickness of the slab must be determined from the results of the geotechnical study.

NOTICE
Each charger must be anchored to a foundation which guarantees its stability towards vertical and horizontal
actions.
It is installer's responsibility to design and build the foundation to guarantee stability of each equipment.
