Standard wiring

• Each charging station must be connected via a separate RCD (Residual Current Device / fault-current circuit breaker). No other consumers may be connected to this circuit (Figure 2).
• The circuit breakers and the power cable minimal cross-sections are overvalued in order to ensure the functionality of the charging station with higher temperatures. Please refer to the installation manual and local standards for further details.

Electrical connection and terminals

• The electrical cable can reach the terminals from the top or from the bottom. Please refer to the appropriate section of the installation manual to open the xChargeIn Home housing.
• The power input electrical cable can be inserted from the bottom-left side of the charging station. Remove the cable glands, if necessary.
• The electrical connection is made on the power supply terminals located at the bottom-right of the charger (Figure 3).
• In the case of three phases, connect the phase (L1, L2, L3), neutral (N), and earth (PE) wires of the AC terminals to the GRID terminal block respecting the correct assignment (Figure 3).
• In the case of a single-phase, connect the phase (L1), neutral (N), and earth (PE) wires of the AC terminals to the GRID terminal block respecting the correct assignment (Figure 3).

• It is prohibited to connect the unit terminals to a circuit with an IT grid configuration.

Unit switch-on

• Check that the equipment is correctly fixed to the wall in accordance with local regulations.
• Check that the AC GRID connections have been made correctly in accordance with local regulations.
• Perform the checks on continuity of the connections of the protective conductor, insulation resistance, RCD triggering current, triggering time, etc., in accordance with local regulations.
• Verify that the connection cover is closed and secured with the fixing screws.
• If the checks listed above were successful, proceed as follows:
  • Turn on the external main AC line switch.
  • Turn on the AC GRID circuit breakers.
  • Wait for the LED button to turn on.
  • The charging station is ready to charge as the LED start button is a green light on (Figure 4).
