Protection

DANGER

• HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
• Do not install automatic reset systems on the residual current protection device.
• Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Upstream Protections

• The Electric Vehicle measures the earth resistance and will only start charging if it is lower than the threshold defined by the Electric Vehicle manufacturer. Refer to the vehicle’s technical documentation.
• The choice of electrical protections and wire gauges must comply with local regulations and the information below as well as the constraints of the electrical installation.
• In particular, the selected protection must not only satisfy the requirements of IEC 61851-1 ed 3.0 but must also limit the value of It to less than 75 000 A’s in case of a short circuit.

(1) According to selectivity with upstream protections

Recommended protection: Acti9 iC60

• A Undervoltage release (MNx) controlled by the charging station must be installed to enable to activation of the upstream circuit-breaker tripping.
• The protections described below should only be taken as suggestions and Schneider Electric cannot be held liable.

Recommendations for lightning protection

• One surge arrester per charging station is recommended for high keraunic levels, mandatory if required by local regulations.

Power Cable Requirements

• For the wiring section “Wiring”, page 7, please comply with local regulations.
• The maximum wire gauge should not exceed 10 mm? for 1-phase, and not exceed 6 mm? for 3-phase.
• Two types of wire as recommended when connecting the charging station to the power supply:
• To use flexible cables with ring/PIN terminal and crimp terminal.
• To use rigid cable.

Energy Management

Energy Management (For EVlink Charging Station with TIC function)

• The charging station is fitted with a TIC input (Tele-Information Consumer) enabling it to be connected to French utility electronic meters (former electronic meters and new Linky meters).
• Please note that only the “historical mode” of the TIC interface is managed. The “standard mode” is ignored.
• The TIC link is to be wired to the terminal block T1-2.
• The TIC interface is intended to avoid the risk of tripping of the connection to the grid (utility meter or connection circuit-breaker) when the overall consumption of the home is close to the subscribed power.
• The TIC interface serves to avoid the tripping of the main circuit breaker when the overall electrical consumption of the home is close to the subscribed power. In some cases the TIC interface can completely stop the EV charging, to ensure the continuity of the home electrical supply.
• Only one charging station can be interfaced with the meter.
• No manual setting is needed. As per the information provided by the TIC interface – instant overall current and subscribed current value -, the charging station calculates the maximum charging current value available for the electric vehicle and automatically adjusts the maximum charging current setpoint value given to the vehicle. When the value gets lower than the minimum acceptable by the vehicle the charging process is suspended and will resume as soon as possible.
• Each time the TIC output of the meter cannot be easily reached a TIC simulator can be used.
• Please refer to its documentation to know how to install and operate it. The TIC simulator can also be used outside France regardless of the utility meter, in countries where there is limited (subscribed) power at home. Please check the TIC simulator documentation to confirm the feasibility.

For EVlink Home

• ” Moreover, the TIC interface provides the on-peak / off-peak hours indication allowing the charging station to differ or suspend the charging, or charge at a slow speed. during on-Deat hours, if the related charging mode has been selected ( section “Operation”, page 18).

Deferred start of charging:

• To schedule charging hours or to an on-peak / off-peak contactor to charge only during off-peak hours.

Charging power limitation:

• The charging station reduces the maximum charging current setpoint value given to the vehicle.
• Notes: For 11 kW charging stations it is required to check that the electric vehicle to be charged can support a charging current setpoint value at 10 A. If not, the charging power limitation function must not be activated.

For EVlink Home Smart

• Charging scheduling shall be done by using the Wiser Application.

Connection

DANGER

• HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
  • Disconnect the mains power supply before working on the charging station.
  • Use a Voltage Tester of appropriate rating.
  • Do not turn on the charging station if the earth resistance measured is higher than the threshold defined in the enforceable regulations.
  • Connection to an Undervoltage release (MNx). It is not supplied with a charging station.
  • Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Undervoltage Release (MNx)

• Install an Undervoltage release (MNx) as described in the wiring diagram, section “Wiring”, page 7, to help to increase operator safety with IEC 61851-1.
• Connect the Undervoltage release (MNx) with 0.5 mm. (AWG 20) 2-core cable with insulation for 220~240 V no wider than 5 mm.
• Take the rubber gasket and poke out 1 of the 2 rubber plugs.
• Pass the 2 wires connecting the Undervoltage release (MNx) through the now empty plug.
• Inside the EVlink Home charging station, insert 1 wire from the Undervoltage release (MNx) into the K2 terminal of the connector.
• Insert the other end into the K1 terminal of the connector.
