PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Ground Fault Circuit Interruption
Integrated ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI) protection automatically
detects a current mismatch between power delivery conductors that would
indicate that current is flowing through the ground (PE) conductor.
If a ground fault occurs after 10 seconds of charging, Wall Connector will
wait 15 minutes before automatically re-attempting to charge. Up to four
attempts to charge will be made before user interaction is required.
If a ground fault occurs within 10 seconds of charging, Wall Connector will
lock out and user interaction is required to restore charging functionality.
Recommended interaction includes pressing the button on the charging handle,
or removing the charging handle from the vehicle and reinserting it. If this
does not resolve the issue, look for a ground fault issue such as water
ingress.
Ground Assurance
Wall Connector continuously checks for the presence of a safe ground
connection and automatically recovers from faults. Ground assurance operates
by injecting a small amount of current into the ground conductor in order to
measure the impedance between line and ground. If high impedance is detected,
the Wall Connector will lock out charging and display a fault code of two (2)
red blinks. See Fault Codes on page 43 for a full list of fault codes.
For ground assurance to operate on TN grids, one leg of the distribution
transformer must be ground bonded (Neutral). Ground bond should only occur at
one location in a site’s electrical system.
Wall Connector ground assurance may be adjusted in countries with TT or IT
grid configurations and can be disabled in the commissioning procedure.
The Ground Monitor Interrupter feature monitors the Wall Connector ground
connection. Select the correct option based on the installation’s earthing
system and earth impedance.
Depending on country, three options are available: · Enable: Ground connection
will be monitored and a high detected. Ground resistance will disable the Wall
Connector. This is the preferred setting to provide protection, and should be
selected where ground connection is expected to be strong (as in the case on
TN networks and most TT networks), and where required by regulation. ·
Monitor: Ground connection will be monitored but a high detected ground
resistance will not disable the Wall Connector. This should be selected if the
ground monitoring check yields false positives and ground impedance cannot be
improved (as is the case in some TT networks). · Disabled: Ground connection
will not be monitored. This should be selected where the ground connection is
not made (as is the case for IT networks), or where the current induced by
this check would be problematic (as is the case on some TT networks with
sensitive residual-current devices).
NOTE: Ground Monitoring is always enabled for installations in North America.
Temporary problems such as ground faults or utility power surges are resolved
automatically.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Power Outages
If there is a power outage while Wall Connector is charging a vehicle,
charging will automatically resume within 1 to 3 minutes after power
restoration. The Wall Connector will display a solid blue light on the
faceplate to indicate that it is communicating with the vehicle and waiting to
resume charging. Alternatively, pressing the button on the charge handle after
power restoration will cause Wall Connector to resume charging immediately.
NOTE: Wall Connectors in a power sharing group maintain their power shaing
settings after a power loss event.

POWER SHARING
Power Sharing Overview
The firmware-based power sharing feature enables up to 6 Wall Connectors
installed at the same site to intelligently share the site’s total available
power via unit-to-unit Wi-Fi. This minimizes the need for many residential and
commercial applications to have specific electrical upgrades for concurrent
multi-vehicle charging.
During the commissioning process, · Wall Connectors are allocated to
individual branch circuits (each up to 60 amps) · Total power is allocated to
the group of linked Wall Connectors
NOTE: For instructions to commission Wall Connectors in a power sharing
network, see Gen 3 Wall Connector Power Sharing.
Total current output of Wall Connectors that share power will never exceed the
site’s total allocated power.

other loads. If space is limited or the main power supply is far from the Wall
Connectors, installing a dedicated load center may be prudent. See below for
examples of Wall Connector power sharing diagrams (one with sub-panel and one
without). Each individual Wall Connector in below examples is capable of
providing 48 amps when it is the only one in use. As more Wall Connectors
begin plugging into vehicles, the system will automatically distribute power
based on the total power allocated to the site.

POWER SHARING
Considerations for Power Sharing
Wall Connector power sharing is achieved wirelessly.
For optimal performance, Wall Connectors within a power sharing network should
be installed within view of each other whenever possible.
NOTE: Line of sight is recommended but not required. Wireless communication is
capable of reaching around concrete corners but network range may degrade as a
result.
Avoid placing Wall Connectors on opposite sides of concrete, masonry, metal
studs, and other physical obstructions that would impede Wi-Fi signal
strength.
NOTE: If a mobile device is able to connect to the Leader Wall Connector Wi-
Fi, it is a good indication that the Follower Wall Connector will also be able
to connect.
Calculating Power Sharing Requirements for Existing Systems
To calculate power supply requirements per number of Wall Connectors for
existing electrical systems, use the following equation:
Available continuous amperage:
Number of Wall Connectors: Max amperage output per Wall Connector when 100% utilized:
_____ ÷ ____ = ____
NOTE: Maximum number of Wall Connectors for power sharing is 6.
NOTE: When calculating maximum amperage per Wall Connector, 100% utilization must be greater than 6 amps for power sharing operation. If maximum amperage is greater than 48 amps, power sharing is not necessary.
For large scale sites, consider expected parking time in relation to a 100% utilization rate.
Expected Park Time (hours)
Examples
6+ (long term)
3-5 (medium term) 1-2 (short term)
Long term parking, overnight parking
Workplace, hospitality
Shopping and dining
Recommended Amperage per wall Connector at 100% Utilization 12+ amps
24+ amps 32+ amps
NOTE: 100% utilization represents the worst case scenario for charging speeds, where the least amount of power would be available for each individual vehicle. In most situations, not all Wall Connectors would be actively charging a vehicle, which enables faster charging for the remaining vehicles.
Setting Up Power Sharing
Power sharing is a firmware feature that allows up to six Gen 3 Wall
Connectors to limit their total grid current draw to a specified maximum
current. This enables more connector installations and higher charging
throughput by allowing individual Wall Connectors to be installed at their
full current branch circuit capability, while setting a total allocated
current so that the electrical service is not overloaded.

POWER SHARING
Firmware
Wall Connector firmware version 21.18.0 or higher is required for Power
Sharing operation. Connecting a Wall Connector to local Wi-Fi will allow for
automatic firmware updates.
