How to Disconnect Power to a Single Supercharger Cabinet
•
Locate electrical switchgear for Supercharger Cabinets, typically inside an enclosure similar
to what is pictured below. This enclosure is usually located within 100 feet of the station.
•
Enter the locked enclosure. Enclosures are
typically locked with padlocks or a locked
door handle. The use of bolt-cutters will
typically be needed.
•
Electrical switchgear enclosures are locked
with padlocks and can be removed using
bolt-cutters. Switchgear usually consists of
two or three separate bays, each with its
own door. Switchgear configurations may
vary by site.
•
To disconnect power to a specific
Supercharger Cabinet, locate the bay of
the switchgear that contains the branch
circuit breakers for each Supercharger
Cabinet. Branch breakers are labeled with
corresponding Supercharger Cabinets that
are connected to them. Supercharger
Cabinets are labeled in a similar manner.
•
Switch the breaker handle to the OFF
position. Do not attempt to reset the
breaker to disconnect.
•
This will disconnect all power to the
specific Supercharger Cabinet, as well as its corresponding Supercharger posts.
•
If both the main breaker and branch breakers are inoperable or have major damage, contact
the utility company to disconnect power from the grid.
