Electric requirements
N.B. Local regulations might add additional requirements for the electrical installation.

• Charge Amps Halo must be earthed through permanent electrical installation.
• Only insert the electrical cable through the specified cable entry.
• The cable ethernet connector must be of short type. N.B Ethernet connection is only available for Charge Amps Halo OCPP version.

Check the following before installation

• The power is switched off at the main switch.

• The incoming cabling is dimensioned to be able to connect the Charge Amps Halo:

  • Minimum 2.5 mm2 for 16 A Electrical conditions in the facility and cable lengths may require a higher cross-sectional area to meet the triggering conditions. The selected cable’s outer diameter cannot exceed 14.0 mm.
  • Minimum 6 mm2 for 32 A Electrical conditions in the facility and cable lengths may require a higher cross-sectional area to meet the triggering conditions. The selected cable’s outer diameter cannot exceed 14.0 mm.

• The product is properly fused:

  • 1-phase 3.7 kW : 16 A, C or B Curve MCB*
  • 3-phase 11 kW : 16 A, C or B Curve MCB*
  • 1-phase 7.4 kW : 32 A, B Curve MCB*
    These are minimum levels. Local regulations must always be fulfilled. MCB = Miniature Circuit Breaker, B Curve MCB’s trip at 3-5 times rated current and C Curve MCB’s trip at 5-10 times rated current.

• Make sure an RCD Type A is installed. DC fault current protection is integrated into the charging station. An external RCD type A is needed. Together, they have the same functionality as RCD type B and replace the requirement of an RCD type B according to IEC 61851.
