4.1. Prepare for installation
4.1.1. Plan for installation
The following recommendations are a guide to help you plan the installation of the charging station.
Choose location
•
Position the charging station, where possible, in a location where it is not exposed to sunlight and
vulnerable to external damage.
•
The wall must have a flat structure and must be able to hold a load of at least 100 kg.
•
The minimum free space around the charging station is 300 mm.
•
The location must allow the charging cable to remain within its bending tolerance.
Note:
The above illustration indicates a standard installation height. Observe and comply with the local
accessibility regulations.
Pre-installation checklist
•
The local installation regulations are identified and are followed.
•
All necessary permits are obtained from the local authority that has jurisdiction.
•
The existing electrical load has been calculated to find the maximum operating current for the
charging station installation.
•
A miniature circuit breaker (MCB) and residual current device (RCD) are installed upstream and
have ratings that correspond to the local power supply as well as to the required charging power.
•
All cables match the specifications for the charging station that you are going to install.
•
The correct specification of power supply cable has been routed to the installation area, and there
EN
4. Installation instructions
12
is sufficient cable length to strip and connect the wires.
•
The power supply cable remains within its bending tolerance during and after installation.
•
The recommended tools are available on site. See chapter Tools and material required on page
13.
•
The plugs, screws, and drill bit used for installing the charging station are suitable for the wall
structure.
•
The power supply cable, the optional Smart Charging network cable and the optional EV Ready
cable comply with the specifications for the charging station that you are going to install.

4.1.3. Power supply requirements
DANGER:
Connecting Elvi to the power supply other than as specified in this section can result in
incompatibility of the installation as well as the risk of electric shock, and thus cause damage to
Elvi, and injury or death.
•
Only connect Elvi to a power supply in a configuration that is specified in this section.

16 A installation: use a 20 A MCB, C-characteristic.
32 A installation: use a 40 A MCB, C-characteristic.
Note:
•
The MCB should match the amperage settings of the charging station
and the maximum current available for the station, considering MCB
manufacturer specifications.
•
Consider the availability of additional sources of power (for example
solar) together with a dynamic load balancing system (optional).

Device)
40 A, 30 mA AC type A+, high immunity type (for example: HPi, SI, HI, KV, etc.). Elvi
has a 6 mA DC leakage detection internally.
Note:
For a TT or IT electric grid with 230 V from line to line, the charging station must be installed
with one phase being connected to terminal L1 and the other phase being connected to
terminal N.
Power supply wiring
The table below shows how to connect the power supply to Elvi, depending on the specifications of
the power supply cabinet and the version of Elvi.
Option 1: 400 V 3-phase with neutral
For 3-phase use of a Wye-connected secondary, all three
phases (L1, L2 and L3) and neutral must be connected.
Each phase voltage must measure 230 V to neutral.
EN
4. Installation instructions
14
Option 2: 230 V 1-phase with neutral
For 1-phase use of a Wye-connected secondary, only a
single phase (L1 or L2 or L3) and neutral on the grid must
be connected to the L1 and N on the terminal block of the
charging station. This phase voltage must measure 230 V
between line and neutral.
Option 3: 230 V 1-phase without neutral
In this configuration (without neutral and 230 V from line to
line), connect any two lines (L1, L2 or L3) of the grid to L1
and N on the terminal block of the charging station.
WARNING:
In this configuration, the charging station operates
only from a single phase (L1). Do not connect the
remaining phases L2 and L3.
Option 4: 230 V 3-phase without neutral
In this configuration (without a neutral and 230 V from line
to line), connect two lines (L1 and L2) to L1 and L2
positions on the terminal block. Connect L3 to the neutral
position on the terminal block.
CAUTION:
This option is not compatible with all vehicles.
4.1.4. Phase rotation
For charging stations that connect to a 3 phase supply in a Hub-Satellite installation, to avoid
overloading the first phase with one-phase electric vehicles we recommend rotating the phases as
shown below.
Note:
If phase rotation is used you must inform EVBox at www.evbox.com/support so the support
team can update the backend system data.

Single 3-phase 400 V AC 16 or 32 A power cable
4.1.5. Hub-Satellite installations (optional)
A Hub-Satellite charging station installation can consist of up to 10 Satellite charging stations
connected to the Hub station. In any installation there must be one Hub station, and all Satellite
stations connect to that Hub station using wireless RF communication. The Hub-Satellite installation is
set-up using the EVBox Connect app. See Configure a Hub-Satellite installation on page 24.
A Hub-Satellite installation is used for the following functions:
•
To distribute available power over the charging stations that are being used. For correct load
balancing, a Hub-Satellite configuration must be connected from a single power supply cabinet. If
a group of charging stations is powered from a different power supply cabinet then that group of
stations must be a separate Hub-Satellite configuration.
•
Sharing a common Internet connection using either a Wi-Fi connection to a local Wi-Fi router or an
optional SIM to connect through a cellular network.
Note the following when choosing locations for Satellite charging stations:
•
All Satellites must be within 100 m (328 ft) of the Hub.
•
Obstructions such as walls and floors can decrease the strength of the communication signal.
•
If the Satellite is not within range of the Hub, or if the signal strength is too low, then the Satellite
will not appear in the EVBox Connect app.
4.1.6. Smart Charging (optional)
A Smart Charging system to optimize load balancing can be connected to the Hub charging station.
Route a SFTP Category 5 or 6 network cable from the Smart Charging system to the installation area of
the Hub charging station. For outdoor installations, use a UV stabilized network cable. Make sure that
EN
4. Installation instructions
16
there is sufficient cable length to strip and connect the cable to the wall dock. See Install the wall dock
on page 19 for cable connection instructions.
4.1.7. EV Ready certified connection (optional)
When an EV Ready certified connection is required, a shunt trip (for example, ABB type F2C-A2) must
be installed in the power supply cabinet.
Use cable with a wire diameter of between 1.5 and 2.5 mm2. Route the EV Ready cable from the MCB
and shunt trip in the power supply cabinet to the installation area of the charging station. Make sure
that there is sufficient cable length to strip and connect the cable to the charging station. See Install
the wall dock on page 19 for cable connection instructions.

Note:
A 3 phase installation is shown. A 1 phase installation is similar.
4.1.8. Implementation of VDE-AR-N 4100: 2019-04 (only for Germany)
All EVBox charging stations can be controlled directly by a distribution network operator (DSO).
Charging stations with a total rated power of more than 12 kVA must be controlled in accordance with
Technical Connection Rules VDE-AR-N 4100: 2019-04. A radio ripple control receiver enables the
charging station, which is located behind the specific DSO-controlled contactor, to be switched off
directly. The contactor must have the following technical specifications: 230 V AC, 40 A, 4 S and
nominal short-circuit current "Iq" 10 kA.
Registration with the local distribution network operator is required.
Example of a 4-pole contactor:
4. Installation instructions
EN

4.1.9. Install isolation switch (only for Singapore)
When the charging station is installed in Singapore, an isolation switch must be installed in the power
supply wiring to ensure compliance with Singapore SS CP 5 Clause 463 rules.
The isolation switch must have the following characteristics:
•
A utilisation category of at least AC22A in accordance with IEC 60947-3.
•
An IP54 or better enclosure rating.
•
A 16 A or 32 A rating to match the charging station connection capacity.
•
The switch knob must be red.
•
All phases and neutral must be switched.
•
The PE/G connection can use a terminal block connection.
The isolation switch must be installed in a location that is easily accessible when using the charging
station.
The following wiring diagrams are examples of the wiring connections to the isolation switch.
