5INSTALLATION
All matters for installing the EFAPOWER EV-QC45 are described in this chapter.
5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
EFAPOWER EV-QC45 reliability is dependent upon compliance of environmental specifications. The design of the
environmental control system for your EFAPOWER EV-QC45, in case of extreme environmental conditions, must
ensure that the Unit can operate reliably while remaining within the range of its operating specifications.
5.1.1 LOCAL CONDITIONS
The installation of EFAPOWER EV-QC45 shall not be made in a commercial garage (repair facility) or
closer than 6,1m (20 feet) of an outdoor motor fuel dispensing device.
EFAPOWER EV-QC45 is in an IP54, IK10 (NEMA 3R) enclosure. This Unit is intended to work below 50ᵒC (122ᵒF)
ambient temperature.
Clearance around the cabinet
The air must circulate freely throughout the ventilation grids in order for the charger’s cooling system to be
effective. The ventilation areas on the sides and back must not be blocked, assuring that the Quick Charger
cooling system can be effective. Efacec recommends clearance of at least 1meter (40’’) in the front (HMI
interface) and on right side (output cables) and 500mm (20’’) of clearance in the remaining sides of the cabinet.
Input Power Cables
AC input cables must be copper with appropriate power rating.
EFAPOWER EV-QC45 can be placed in 3 alternative positions as showed in Figure 5.

Even though, non-conductive dust does not influence the system’s operation, it may however, with excessive
accumulation, not allow proper cooling, therefore limiting the equipment’s thermal capabilities. Consequently,
dust accumulation must be avoided in order to guarantee a better thermal performance.
Conductive dust and acid vapors must be kept away from the Quick Charger.
On locations with harsh weather conditions (high temperatures, heavy dust, snow and/or very low temperatures)
it’s recommended to provide additional protection, either inside a building or a shelter, or providing a protection
roof for the Unit. See example in Figure 6.

5.1.2 SITE VERIFICATION AND INSPECTION
✓Check if the installation of the Quick Charger is not planned to be made in a commercial garage (repair
facility) or closer than 6,1m (20 feet) of an outdoor motor fuel dispensing device;
✓Check if the access passages to the Quick Charger Station layout site are not blocked in order to allow its
transportation;
✓Check if Quick Charger Station layout site is compliant with the specified clearance around the cabinet.

5.2 SITE PREPARATION
Once the local conditions are verified, it is time to set up the site to be ready for the installation of the EFAPOWER
EV-QC45.
5.2.1 UPSTREAM WIRING INFORMATION
Depending on the configuration of the EFAPOWER EV-QC45 we can have different circuit breakers in the service
panel:
▪DC and AC outputs connections (not available for USA market):
Requires a dedicated 160A circuit breaker 3P C curve
Figure 7 - EFAPOWER EV-QC45 Wiring Information
NOTES
In areas with frequent thunder storms, Efacec recommends adding transient voltage surge
suppression (TVSS) at the service panel for all circuits.
Unless required by local codes it is not necessary to install a residual-current device (RCD) for the circuit
breaker. The EFAPOWER EV-QC45 already has this protection.

5.2.2 SURFACE PREPARATION
Efacec recommends a concrete pad of at least 800mm (31.5”) square, by 254mm (10”) deep. Check local codes
to ensure compliance.
Flatness
To avoid warping of the doors, the Quick Charger Station power cabinet must be mounted on a surface with a
maximum slope of 2mm/m (¼ inch rise per 10 feet of run).
5.2.3 RESOURCES FOR INSTALLATION
The following resources will be needed for installation of the EFAPOWER EV-QC45:
Fasteners:
▪4 (four) chemical anchors, M8 (5/16’’), 10mm thread diameter –length must comply with local codes, but
must have at least 120mm (5”)
▪4 (four) galvanized bolts M8 (5/16’’), with matching nuts and washers (must extend at least 30.5mm (1.2”)
above the concrete and 89.5mm (3.52”) into the concrete)
▪4 (four) sealing screws: Socket head button cap screws M12x25 (metric), with matching flat rubber washers
(supplied with the Quick Charging Station)
End terminals for input wiring:
▪Depending on the EFAPOWER EV-QC45 configuration:
▪Only DC outputs: 5 (five) end terminals up to 35mm2(3phases + neutral + protective ground), or
▪DC and AC outputs (not available for US market): 5 (five) end terminals up to 35mm2+ 5 (five) end
terminals up to 16mm2 (3phases + neutral+ protective ground)
Tools:
▪13mm (1/2") wrench - for anchoring the Unit on the pad
▪10mm Hex key/bit - for Sealing Screws
▪Crimping tool - for power and earth cables
▪Torque screwdriver with flat blade - for input terminal blocks
5.2.4 SITE VERIFICATION AND INSPECTION
✓Check if Quick Charger has the appropriate upstream protection depending on the configuration of it
✓Check if the surface where the Quick Charging Station will be placed is leveled as specified

5.3 HANDLING AND PLACING
Before installing stations
The instructions provided in this manual assume that the appropriate wiring, circuit protection, and
metering are in place at the installation location.
To assist in the process of preparing the installation site, it is recommended that before you begin
installing the Quick Charging Station, you thoroughly review the contents of this document to
familiarize yourself with the required installation steps.
In case of any doubt regarding items described in this guide, please contact us at:
5.3.1 PACKAGING
EFAPOWER EV-QC45 is shipped in a package with the following dimensions (WxDxH):
▪1150x850x2150mm (45.3x33.5x84.6 inches)

5.3.3 HANDLING
Due to its heavy weight, 4 (four) lifting hooks are provided on the top of the Power Cabinet as indicated on Figure
8.
Never try to move the power cabinets by using tools under panels; this will create a risk of
deformation.
Figure 8 - EFAPOWER EV-QC45 lifting hooks
After the power cabinet is placed, the lifting hooks must be removed, and the M12 sealing screws must be
inserted in their holes in order to guarantee the IP54, IK10 (NEMA 3R) protection degree.
5.3.4 ASSEMBLY/ PLACING INSTRUCTIONS
5.3.4.1 ANCHORING TO THE CONCRETE PAD
The Quick Charging Station must be anchored on the surface compliant with the specifications mentioned in
chapter 5.2.2.
The power cabinet must be installed on a concrete pad using 4 (four) chemical anchors, M8 (5/16’’), 10mm thread
diameter –length must comply with local codes, but must have at least 120mm (5”).
In the following figure, some details are shown regarding the drilling layout for the Power Cabinet.
Only 4(four) points are needed to anchor the Unit on the concrete pad (marked with a red circle).
For the power cabinet, the conduits must extend 160mm (6.3”) above the concrete, or according to local codes.
The cable entrance shall only be located as shown in the image below (marked in green).
