Building a Future of EV Charging with Dependable EV Pillars
EV pillars are key components of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure. These pillars are intended to offer safe and dependable electrical connections for EV charging equipment, effectively serving as an outdoor hub that can securely transmit power from a single supply source to several EV charge points.
What Are The Usual Characteristics Of An EV Feeder Pillar?
EV pillars are equipped with a mechanism for isolating the incoming supply source. Depending on the building's electrical configuration, this might be a switch disconnector, fuse, or moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB).
EV charge points linked to the pillar may require single or three-phase distribution with varying current ratings depending on the kind of EV charger. The pillar holds the circuit protection devices required for connecting to each of the final circuits. This often protects against overcurrent, residual current, voltage transients, and PEN conductor defects.
How Can EV Pillars Help You Comply With Building Regulations?
Strategically positioned EV pillars link several EV charging points radially from one or more central hubs, enabling simple coverage of big parking lots with EV charging stations for business. They provide a centralised interface for system protection, metering, and isolation.
How Are Ev Feeder Pillars Built?
EV feeder pillars can be made of a variety of materials and coatings, depending on their location and purpose.
Mild steel cabinet design is appropriate for protected inland locations placed more than 20 miles from the coast, whereas stainless steel construction is appropriate for externally exposed, polluted, or coastal environments where salt corrosion is a concern.
Where a new electrical supply line is required exclusively to power the EV charging facility, the distribution network operator (DNO) will terminate the supply cables within GRP cabinets or brick masonry.
Cabinets can be constructed to be installed on a cast concrete plinth or with a root foundation for direct burial. Cabinets must have ingress protection grade in order to be used as outdoor EV charging stations.
