must be downloaded (www.eaton.com/greenmotionBuilding), read and understood.
During installation, unplug Green Motion Building. Read and understand the safety instructions and warnings prior to installation.
2. Electrical connections and unit switch-on
Standard wiring
Each EV charger must be connected via a separate RCD
•
(Residual Current Device/fault-current circuit breaker) if
required by local regulations. No other consumers may be
connected to this circuit (Figure 3).
Refer to the installation manual and local standards for further
•
details on requirements in terms of circuit breakers and
minimal cross-sections of conductors.
Electrical connections and terminals
Open the housing of the Green Motion Building by unscrewing
•
the eight screws as indicated in Figure 4.
When removing the cover of the unit, please make sure to not
•
break any cables from the electronic board.
Disconnect the connection cables from the front cover.
•
Insert the power supply cable from the bottom of the unit.
•
Remove the cable glands, if necessary.
The electrical connection is made on the power supply
•
terminals located at the bottom-right of the unit's electronic
board (Figure 5).
If using a three-phase power supply, connect the phases (L1,
•
L2, L3), neutral (N) and earth (PE) wires of the AC (distribution)
grid to the power supply terminal block, ensuring correct
assignment (Figure 5).
•
If using a single-phase power supply, connect the phase (L1),
neutral (N) and earth (PE) wires of the AC (distribution) grid to
the power supply terminal block, ensuring correct assignment
(Figure 5).
It is prohibited to connect the unit to a grid circuit with
•
a three-phase IT grid configuration
