What Size Wire is Needed for a Home Car Charging Station?
1 Answers
Home car charging stations require 2.5 square millimeter wires, preferably copper wires for higher safety. The "square" in charging wires refers to the cross-sectional area of the wire, and both 2.5 square and 4 square wires can support high-power household appliances. Here is more related information: Types of Charging Stations: By installation method, they can be divided into floor-mounted charging stations and wall-mounted charging stations. Floor-mounted charging stations are suitable for installation in parking spaces near walls. By installation location, they can be divided into public charging stations and dedicated charging stations. Public charging stations are built in public parking lots (garages) combined with parking spaces to provide public charging services for social vehicles. Dedicated charging stations are built in parking lots (garages) owned by construction units (enterprises) for use by internal personnel of the unit (enterprise). By the number of charging interfaces, they can be divided into single-charging and multi-charging stations. Technical Principles: The control system of fast chargers adopts an intelligent variable pulse charging method, which includes charging pulse T1, intermittent pulse T2, and discharge pulse T3. The charger consists of a rectifier that converts input AC power to DC power and a power converter that regulates DC power. By plugging the wired plug into the matching socket on the electric vehicle, DC power is input into the battery for charging. The charger is equipped with a locking lever to facilitate plug insertion and removal, while the lever also provides a signal to confirm that it is securely locked for safety. Based on communication between the charger and the vehicle's battery management system, the power converter can adjust the DC charging power online, and the charger can display charging voltage, charging current, charging amount, and charging cost. This is just the principle of the charging station, and many detailed issues should be continuously improved in practical applications.
