Shading
Protecting the charging station from direct sunlight by means of appropriate shading
equipment is recommended. Direct sunlight can additionally heat the charging station and
especially the charging cables, which automatically reduces the charging power.
In addition, strong UV radiation can cause premature aging of the insulation of the charging
cables. This could significantly reduce maintenance intervals.
Maximum allowable temperature at air inlet
The maximum permissible rated temperature at the air inlet is 35 °C. In the range between
the rated temperature and the maximum permissible ambient temperature of 55 °C, the
available charging power is restricted.
Direction of air flow
The supply air enters the two sides and the back of the charging station from below. The air
flow within the charging station goes from the bottom to the top. The warm exhaust air
escapes on both sides and the back. This means that it does not hit the operator at the front
of the charging station.
Therefore, the operator must ensure that the air entry openings are kept free and not blocked
by obstacles, such as snow or leaves.
Electrical installation
The charging station is designed for connection to the low-voltage network (400 V AC).
Connect the charging station to the electrical distributor via a supply line dimensioned for the
expected current load. When selecting the cable cross-sections, also take into consideration
whether an increase in the charging power and therefore greater power consumption will be
desired later. Flexible conductors are recommended.
