Configure Cable (Circuit) Sharing

Cable sharing refers to a single circuit supplying power to two ports on the station.

IMPORTANT: If the station is not being configured for cable (circuit) sharing, go to Install the Power Plate.

CP6000 charging stations can be installed with single cable feeding both ports (circuit share) or with dual cables, one for each port.

CAUTION: Due to overcurrent requirements, a single cable feeding two ports does not comply with local regulations in all markets. Check local regulations and rules at the installation location to ensure compliance and safe operation.
All product charging stations include L1 - L2 circuit share power management jumpers. If a single three-phase supply circuit is feeding a dual port station, install the L1 - L2 jumper. This offers local phase rotation between the two charging ports to distribute and balance charging loads across the supply phases. If a single supply circuit is feeding a dual port station, you MUST install power management jumpers for both ports to operate correctly.

For assistance, go to chargepoint.com/support and contact technical support using the appropriate region-specific number. Order power management jumpers from Support if required.

CP6000 charging stations comes with two options:

Talk to your local ChargePoint contact and agree on the best solution for the installation.

When choosing RCBOClosed Residual Current Breaker with Overload Protection, a single input cable can be supplied to the charging station because of the share power management jumpers. The upstream cable will also be protected according to the national wiring regulations.

When choosing RCCBClosed Residual Current Circuit Breaker in certain countries, local wiring regulations will require that these stations shall be connected with two input power cables and an additional upstream Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCBClosed Miniature Circuit Breaker). Make sure to follow the local regulations considering the maximum current delivered per charging port.

If an upstream RCDClosed Residual Current Device will be used, ensure that the RCDClosed Residual Current Device fulfills the selectivity criteria. Either 30 mA (s) with selective tripping characteristic or 100 mA are required so both RCDs (RCCBClosed Residual Current Circuit Breaker in station and RCDClosed Residual Current Device in upstream circuit board) will be connected in series.

  1. Slide the power plate cover up and gently set it aside.

  2. Install the jumper.

    Jumpers for RCBOClosed Residual Current Breaker with Overload Protection and RCCBClosed Residual Current Circuit Breaker breakers look slightly different; however, the installation and wiring are the same.

    3. WARNING: Install a jumper only when one circuit feeds both ports. Installing a jumper while feeding a circuit to each port could result in shorting occurring across the lines.

    • Measure the diameter of the wires.

    • Snip holes in the nubs on the black rubber shield.

      Holes must be at appropriate heights to allow wiring to pass through the rubber shield and into the terminal block.

      Technical illustration depicts the procedural step.

    • Ensure the wires can slide through the holes after snipping the nubs.
