4.3 Connection or supply line
The connection cable and the corresponding fuse protection must be determined according to the desi-
red charging current, the cable type, the cable lengths, as well as the local and standardised regulati-
ons.

4.4 Residual current circuit breaker
The circuit must be protected by a type A residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current of 30
mA. e.g. ABB F204 A-40/0.03.
This residual current circuit breaker must be installed in the house distribution before the supply line to
the POWER2CAR FUEL Wallbox charging station. Each charging point must be equipped with a sepa-
rate residual current circuit breaker.
The charging electronics in the vehicle can generate a DC residual current which is not detected by the
type A residual current circuit breaker. To protect against these DC residual currents, the POWER2CAR
FUEL Wallbox has an integrated DC monitor. This component detects the residual currents and triggers
the residual current circuit breaker in the house distribution in the event of a fault. This means that no
universal current-sensitive residual current circuit breaker (type B) is required!
Info
: Some vehicles (e.g. Renault Zoe) generate such a high fault current during the charging process
that the RCD installed in the distribution system trips sporadically.
The following residual current circuit breakers are immune to these spikes and have proven themselves
in practice:
