8. AC connection
This chapter explains the requirements and process for connecting the AC cabling to the unit.
Read carefully before starting the connection process.
INFO
Consult section "Important safety instructions" and the following instructions before working on the unit.
8.1. Safety instructions for the AC connection
DANGER
Make sure there is no voltage present on the unit before starting the AC connection.
Do not switch on the power to the unit until you have successfully made the rest of the connections and the unit
is closed.
Use the Personal Protective Equipment specified in section "Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)".
During the connection, make sure of the proper installation of the cables on the unit's terminals so that parts of
accessible wires do not remain live.
Respect the polarity of the AC wiring.
CAUTION
Ingeteam accepts no liability for any damages caused by an incorrect connection.
8.2. Wiring requirements for the AC connection
To guarantee the safety of persons, for the unit to function correctly and comply with the applicable standards, the
unit must be connected to the ground of the installation.
If the charger and the grid connection point are far enough apart to require the use of cables with a larger gage, an
external distribution box should be used close to the charger to make this connection.
The AC connection must be made using single-pole cables. A total of five cables are used: three phases, neutral
and ground. The conductor material may be copper or aluminum.
CAUTION
If using aluminum cables, the installer must provide the necessary means to prevent galvanic coupling (bipolar
terminals, bimetallic interfaces, etc.).
The dimensioning of the ground wiring will be the responsibility of the installer and must meet applicable
regulatory requirements in the installation.
The AC input admits a cable section of between 10 mm
diameter is 6 to 20 mm. The cables must finish in an M8 spade terminal. The maximum width of the spade must
not exceed 28 mm.
