Hi guys,
I have a bit of a quandary about an installation I have coming up; I need to install a 100kW rated Electric Vehicle charging station in the middle of a car park.
The supply (PME) will be in a toilet block building approximately 45m from the final location of the charger. There will be a 125mm duct installed 600mm underground with warning tape 150mm above it. The charger itself will be isolated from the PME supply and earthed to a Mat-lattice.
The charging station itself is metallic framed and the cable entry point is dead centre on the bottom of the unit. There is no way of terminating a SWA and even if i could fabricate a bracket for terminating a SWA into, the PME would be exported due to the metallic case of the charger.
So, my question is, how would you get a supply out there? I have come up with a couple of options and am interested to hear thoughts and suggestions:
1) I run a SWA cable (or dual supplies to reduce cable size) and use heat-shrink at the charger end to terminate the cable (not right keen on terminating a cable like this)
2) I use something like a H07RN cable (i'm not right keen on putting a cable underground without armoured protection) but it will be easier to pull and terminate
Thanks in advance,
Matt
