System Requirements

General Requirements

SemaConnect EV charging stations require a solidly grounded electrical system with the presence of a main bonding jumper

or system bonding jumper. Ungrounded sources or impedance grounded sources of any type (resistor/reactor) are not

suitable for SemaConnect EV charging stations.

SemaConnect 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.
