Electric car charging pile to use the specification of the cable

The thickness of the harness of the charging post cannot be unified, but mainly depends on the storage capacity of the charging post and the voltage that the harness is subjected to when circulating electricity.

Charging piles are a very common energy supplement nowadays, but there are still a lot of people who don't know how many square feet of cable are needed to install a charging pile. Today we are going to learn how to choose the right cable when installing a charging post.

First of all, the charging pile has single-phase and three-phase, regardless of dual-phase or single-phase, first of all to convert to AC incoming current how large. For single-phase charging pile (AC charging pile) I=P/U; for three-phase charging pile (DC charging pile) I=P/(U*1.732). From this, it is derived that the cable is selected according to the current magnitude.

Secondly, cable selection can refer to relevant manuals or regulations such as:

(1) Single-phase charging pile is generally 7KW (AC charging pile) I=P/U=7000/220=32A Copper core cable of 4 square mm should be used.

2、Three-phase charging pile (DC pile)

15KW Current 23A Cable 4 square mm;

30KW Current 46A Cable 10 square mm;

60KW current 92A cable 25 square mm;

90KW current 120A cable 35 mm2;

All charging posts should have zero and ground wires. So single phase should have three core cable and three phase should use five core cable.
