Charging Pile AC 16A Cable Product Introduction

Overview: As electric vehicle charging piles serve the power distribution and utilization side of the power grid, their unique structure dictates that automated communication systems are characterized by numerous and dispersed measurement points, wide coverage, and short communication distances. Furthermore, with urban development, network topologies require flexibility and scalability. Therefore, the selection of a communication method for electric vehicle charging piles (plugs) should consider the following requirements:

First, communication reliability—the communication system must withstand harsh environments and strong electromagnetic interference or noise interference while maintaining smooth communication. Second, construction costs—while ensuring reliability, a comprehensive consideration should be given to both construction costs and long-term operation and maintenance costs. Finally, bidirectional communication—not only enabling the uploading of information but also the dispatching of control signals. And of course, there's the multi-service data transmission rate—as terminal service volume continues to grow, the demand for multi-service data transmission rates between master stations and slave stations, and between slave stations and terminals, will continue to increase. Finally, communication flexibility and scalability are key. Because charging stations (plugs) have numerous control points, are widely distributed, and are widely distributed, they require the use of standard communication protocols. With the development of "all-IP" network technology and the continuous growth of power operations, IP-based service transport is essential, while also ensuring ease of installation, construction, commissioning, operation, and maintenance.

Of course, many users ask what cable specifications are generally used for 3.5 kW, 7 kW, and 11 kW charging stations?

First, 3.5 kW charging stations generally use 3 x 4 square cables plus conduit. For lengths exceeding 30 meters, use 3 x 6 square cables. For 7 kW stations, use 3 x 6 square cables; and for 11 kW stations, use 5 x 6 square cables. Charging stations come in single-phase and three-phase options. Whether using a two-phase or single-phase system, first convert the current to the AC input current. For a 16A charging station, use a 3x4mm cable; for a 32A station, use a 3x6mm cable. For a 40kW AC or 30kW DC station, use a 4x16mm + 1x10mm cable. For details, please call the official website.

For a single-phase charging station (AC station), I = P/U.

For a three-phase charging station (DC station), I = P/(U * 1.732).

After calculating the current in this way, select a cable based on the current. For cable selection, refer to relevant manuals or regulations, such as:

A single-phase charging station typically has a 7kW (AC station) current rating. I = P/U = 7000/220 = 32A. Use a 4mm² copper cable.

For three-phase DC charging stations, a 15kW current of 23A requires a 4mm² cable; a 30kW current of 46A requires a 10mm² cable; a 60kW current of 92A requires a 25mm² cable; and a 90kW current of 120A requires a 35mm² cable. All charging stations should have a neutral and ground wire. Therefore, single-phase charging stations require a three-core cable, while three-phase charging stations require a five-core cable.Please Visit：https://www.omgevcable.com
