any type (resistor/reactor) are not suitable for Blink EV charging stations.
Blink EV charging stations require 240 volt (phase to phase) or 208 volt (phase to phase) input with
an equipment grounding conductor. A grounded conductor (neutral conductor) is not required. All
breakers must be non-GFCI breakers.
Anchoring detail is the responsibility of others. Anchoring must be capable of minimum weight and height in accordance
with the provided table. Any seismic, wind-loading and/or snow-loading considerations increasing weights or wind-profile
of unit will be the responsibility of others.
