Installation Planning and Design
This section provides several considerations for the DC Wallbox installation planning and design, which are to be
made by the customer to ensure a successful project.
3.1
Internet connection
ABB requires an internet connection to the DC Wallbox to conduct remote service operations including, over-
sight of the product during the warranty period, diagnosis and troubleshooting of issues, and performing soft-
ware firmware update. Not having internet connection to the DC Wallbox may severely impact, or even void, the
product warranty and/or ABB’s service level agreement (SLA).
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure reliable internet connection to the DC Wallbox is made. Contingency
planning and the associated costs are the responsibility of the installer.
3.1.1
Internet via cellular connection
The preferred method of establishing internet connection to the charger is using the charger’s standard featured
hardware with ABB’s Charger Connect service offering, which provides internet access via Vodafone’s 4G LTE
wireless network.
In the USA, Vodafone primarily roams on the AT&T and T-Mobile 4G LTE networks. It is expected that a cellular
availability test is performed prior to construction to ensure there is reasonable signal quality to at least one of
the AT&T and T-Mobile 4G LTE bands 2 (1900 MHz), 4 (1700/2100MHz), or 12 (700 MHz).
The signal strength must be greater than -85dbm and should be measured with a cellular network signal meter,
such as a Squid-4G or Sure Call device. Handheld mobile phones are not recommended for assessing signal
strength since they are not reliable measuring devices.
The DC Wallbox only supports SIM cards provided by ABB. Customer procured SIM cards are not supported.
3.1.2
Internet via ethernet connection
Internet connection to the charger may be performed by connecting an ethernet cable to the charger from other
on-site IT infrastructure. However, due to the scope of work required for integrating this solution to ensure se-
cure communication, this method is typically not preferred.
ABB may require additional commissioning fees if ethernet cable method for establishing internet is used, de-
pending on the situation. Please contact your ABB sales representative for more details.
See sections 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 for more details on connection of conduit carrying ethernet cable and specification
of the ethernet cable.

Electrical requirements
CAUTION
The installation company is responsible to design and install the electrical
installation according to the local regulations.
3.2.1
Required electrical grid configuration
The DC Wallbox may be ordered with either a 1-phase or 3-phase input variant. It is essential that the DC Wall-
box is installed in the proper electrical grid configuration. The allowable grid configurations are shown in the
three figures below. Please observe the 3-phase variant DC Wallbox supports only one grid configuration and
the 1-phase variant DC Wallbox supports two different grid configurations. For the 1-phase variant DC Wallbox,
ABB recommends the electrical designer to consider power distribution phase balancing design requirements.

NOTICE:
The grid connections shown for the various configurations of the DC Wallbox are mandatory.
Failure to adhere to these instructions may partially or fully void the product warranty, result
in a costly site visit to reconfigure the grid configuration, and/or cause several site visits for
the DC Wallbox commissioning. ABB is not responsible for scheduling delays and additional
costs from not properly planning the installation. If ABB is contracted to perform the DC
Wallbox commissioning, ABB observes the right to charge additional money for more than
one site visit required for the commissioning due to an initial, improper installation of the DC
Wallbox.
Important steps to ensure project success include:
1. Identify the grid configuration at the location where the DC Wallbox will be installed. If
the grid configuration available is not okay for use with the DC Wallbox, then determine
how to establish the required grid connection. A transformer solution offered by ABB is
available to derive the required grid configuration when the required grid configuration is
not available. Contact your local ABB sales representative for more details.
2. Select the 1-phase or 3-phase variant of the DC Wallbox according to Section 1.3 titled
Terra DC Wallbox hardware ordering details based on Step 1 above.
3. Carefully execute a project plan to ensure the correct variant of DC Wallbox is used on
the project and that the project site’s grid configuration is compatible with the DC Wall-
box.
4. Verify the actual grid configuration the DC Wallbox is installed in matches the described
criteria during the DC Wallbox commissioning.
3.2.2
Overcurrent protection device
Each variant of the DC Wallbox is recommended to be fed by the circuit breaker or fuse ratings shown below.
•
1-phase, 208-240V DC Wallbox variant: 2-pole, 125A circuit breaker or fuses
•
3-phase, 480Y/277V DC Wallbox variant: 3-pole, 40A circuit breaker or fuses
3.2.3
Conduit for power input wires
Each variant of the DC Wallbox supports up to a 1-1/4” trade size conduit connection.
3.2.4
Specification for power input wires
The exact size and type of wires used must be defined by the customer and be protected by customer provided
overcurrent protection according to local codes and regulations.
The input terminals for both 1-phase and 3-phase UL variants of the DC Wallbox accept a range of wire sizes
from 10 AWG to 0 AWG. Wire terminals are rated 75C.
The 3-phase UL variant DC Wallbox requires Three (3) phase wires, One (1) neutral wire, and One (1) wire for
protective earth. (3W+N+G)
The 1-phase UL variant DC Wallbox requires Two (2) phase wires and One (1) wire for protective earth. (2W+G)
TERRA DC WALLBOX
2020-12
18/44
All wires for 3-phase and 1-phase variants of the DC Wallbox may connect directly to the ABB provided termi-
nals, with exception to the protective earth wire for the 3-phase variant DC Wallbox. The protective earth wire
for the 3-phase variant DC Wallbox requires for the installer to crimp a terminal onto it using the terminal manu-
facturer’s recommended crimp procedure and tool.
The integrity of the electrical grounding is essential. Ensure that the equipment grounding terminal is used in
the device and an actual grounding conductor is installed to provide a path back to the source upstream panel.
(Do not use the conduit or raceway as the sole equipment grounding conductor).
3.2.5
Conduit for ethernet cable
The DC Wallbox does not have a hole designated for a conduit carrying only an ethernet cable to connect to. If
ethernet cable solution is required for an installation, please contact your ABB sales contact person to review
ethernet cable entry solutions.
3.2.6
Specification for ethernet cable
If the cellular connection is not available, ethernet connection must be made to the charger using a shielded
8P+PE ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors. Additional recommendations include:
•
Maintain distance of 75 meters or less. Distances over 75 meters require a custom engineered solution.
•
Minimum bandwidth:
upload: 128 kb/s
download: 4 Mb/s
•
99.9% availability
•
600V rated cable that may route beside input power wires for short distances
3.3
DC Wallbox placement
Placement of the Terra DC Wallbox must be carefully determined by accounting for charging cable reach, DC
Wallbox position with respect to parking space, bollards and wheel stops, ventilation and working clearances,
and other local codes and regulations (e.g. ADA requirements in the USA).
3.3.1
Charging cable reach
The Terra DC Wallbox charging cables are available in lengths of 3.5 or 7 meters. The charging cables exit the
charger enclosure on both the right and left sides. The cables and the connectors mounted on the cables are dif-
ferent depending on the charging standard and vary in flexibility.
The figure below shows an example of a dual connector charger with both types of connector and the corre-
sponding reach area. The green circle with a continuous line describes the CHAdeMO cable 3.5m and the red
circle with a continuous line describes the CCS cable 3.5m. The broken lines indicate the same cable types with a
length of 7 meters (23 ft).

3.3.2
DC Wallbox position with respect to parking space
The charging inlets on a vehicle can be located at different positions depending on the manufacturer. The most
common vehicles have inlets located either on the front or in the back on either the left or right side.
This makes some charger placements with respect to the parking space more favorable than others. Keep this in
mind when designing a site. Below are examples of possible situations:
