Guidelines for Stations Supplied With Single Phase Power

When installing a CP6000 station as a single phase station, be aware of the following considerations:

Panel type
  • Select 1 phase for a single phase station setup.

    During the installation, the installer can choose the panel type as a 1 phase or a 3 phase.

Number of input (power) cables wired to the station
  • Dual port with a single power cable

IMPORTANT: If one single-phase supply circuit is feeding a dual port station, you MUST install a L1 - L1 jumper for both ports to operate correctly. Using an L1 - L2 jumper is not allowed. Installing an L1 - L1 circuit share power management jumper is required to ensure both ports are powered by the same phase. The L1 - L1 jumper does not rotate phases, allowing both ports to draw current from L1. If an L1 - L1 jumper is not available, contact ChargePoint to order L1 - L1 power management jumpers as required.

  • Dual port with a dual power cable: Each port has its own power cable, so no circuit share power management jumper is required.

  • For cloud-based power management (if applicable): For cloud-based power management hosted by ChargePoint, ensure both ports use the same phase, even if supplied by two different cables. Stations not using power management can have different phases for each port.

 

 

  • Avoid any phase rotation between ports. Stations with phase rotation cannot support single phase cloud-based power management.
  • Do not use a single 5-wire cable to supply both ports with different phases. This setup is not supported and may lead to undesirable behavior. Contact ChargePoint if this is the only available option.

  • If presented with the Commission page when configuring the station as 1 phase, select the 3 phase station option. This only indicates that all EU CP6000 stations are 3 phase capable, even if wired as a single phase station. If the 1 phase option appears (as highlighted), this further indicates that the EU station is incorrectly identified and must be corrected before proceeding.

     

     

Wiring Diagrams for Single Phase Installation

These diagrams show wiring for installing single and dual port CP6000 stations on:

  • A dual circuit, dual port

  • A single circuit, dual port

  • A single circuit, single port

The number of dedicated circuits required depends on the type of installation and the power available at the site.

Refer to the CP6000 Datasheet on ChargePoint Product Reference Documentation for electrical input and output specifications.

230 VAC Single Phase Dual Circuit, Dual Port

It is recommended that the Neutral should also pass through the main breakers (a country-specific requirement). In a dual input configuration, each input must be connected to its own breaker; a single breaker for both inputs is not allowed. Two main breakers are required.
