2Introduction
2.1 Introduction
The AC007UK-01 / AC007UK-01 L1 charger (hereinafter "charger") is used for AC charging
of electric vehicles (EV/PHEV) and can be either wall-mounted or pole-mounted, with the fol-
lowing advantages:
Ease of Use
EV drivers can start and stop charging via RFID card or App. When the vehicle is fully
charged, the charging will stop. The charger also supports plug&play charging, which means
the charging starts automatically as soon as the charging connector is plugged into the
vehicle.
Smart and Easy Management
In addition to the LED lights on the charger that indicate charging status, EV drivers can vis-
ualize and control the charging session remotely via iEnergyCharge or iSolarClould.
Sustainability
With an IP65 rating, the charger is water and dust proof, allowing for outdoor use and
maintenance.
2.2 Model and Nameplate
The charger comes in two versions for different use cases:
• AC007UK-01 (hereinafter referred as "the advanced version")
• AC007UK-01 L1 (hereinafter referred as "the standard version")

The charger already integrates a DC residual-current device (RCD) with a rated re-
sidual current of 6 mA. However, the charger also requires a type A RCD of 30 mA
to operate. Each charger in the system must be individually connected to the utility
grid through an RCD and a miniature circuit breaker.
