- At which the installation surface does not have sufficient strength to withstand the mechanical stresses. If possible, install the BMW Wallbox Plus so that it is protected from direct rainfall so as to avoid the effects of weather, icing, damaged by hailstones or the like.
When selecting the circuit breaker, the standard value of the rated conditional residual short-circuit current shall be 1500A for the BMW Wallbox Plus. Also take into consideration the increased ambient temperatures in the control cabinet. In certain circumstances this may require a reduction in the charging current settings to increase the system availability.
Page 14
When selecting the supply cable, take into account the possible reduction factors and the increased ambient temperatures in the internal connection area of the BMW Wallbox Plus, see the temperature rating of the supply terminals. In certain circumstances, this may require an increase in the cable cross- section and an adjustment in the temperature resistance of the supply cable.
Ideally, the BMW Wallbox Plus should be stored for a few hours in advance at the installation site. If this is not possible, the BMW Wallbox Plus should not be stored in low temperatures (< 5 °C) overnight outdoors or in a vehicle.
4.2 Recommended installation positions When selecting the installation position, taken note of the position of the charge connector on your vehicle and the direction in which you normally park it. 4.3 Required distance Observe the applicable accessibility requirements for the installation position. The device must be mounted at a sufficient height above ground so that the storage height is between 1,000 mm (39 inches) and 1,200 mm (47 inches).
