Introduction
This topic provides an introduction to the ChargePoint® Express Plus Power Link 2000.
About This Guide
This installation guide applies specifically to variation A pedestal-mount Power Link 2000s. Please note that Power Link 2000 is available in multiple variations and mount types, and installation procedures differ for each.
To ensure this guide is applicable to your unit, verify the part number of your charging station. The part number can be found on the Power Link 2000 package shipping label and is formatted as 99-XXXXXX-YY-ZZ, where:
-
99-XXXXXX is the base part number
-
YY is a version enumerator
-
ZZ is a variant indicator
This guide is applicable only for Power Link 2000s with a base part number and version enumerator listed below. If the Power Link 2000 part number has a base part number other than listed below, or if the part number is an up-version (incremented YY) of any part number listed below, you must navigate to a different installation guide. This is not the correct installation guide.

Express Plus Components
Express Plus is a scalable DC fast charging platform. It consists of Power Block and Power Link 2000.
-
Power Block contains Power Modules, which convert the upstream AC power into DC power. A Power Block can accommodate up to five Power Modules, each of which can output up to 40 kW of DC power. Power Block provides the charging current on two HV DC
High Voltage Direct Current buses. It also provides 48 V DC power and Ethernet to connected Power Link 2000s. -
Power Link 2000 receives HV DC
High Voltage Direct Current power from Power Block to charge a vehicle. It can be installed with one or two charging cables. With two cables, it can simultaneously charge two vehicles.
From simultaneous charging of two vehicles at up to 500 kW from single station and sequential charging of six or more vehicles, Express Plus can be configured to meet various charging needs. Multiple Power Blocks and Power Link 2000s can be interconnected in many ways with HV DC High Voltage Direct Current wires for charging current, Ethernet cables for network communications, and 48 V DC wires to power the electronics in Power Link 2000. The illustration above shows a sample wiring between single Power Block and Power Link 2000.
IMPORTANT: Contact ChargePoint representative for the ChargePoint approved wiring architectures. Non-approved wiring between Power Blocks and Power Link 2000s may not enable Express Plus to function as expected.
For full specifications and certifications, refer to the Express Plus Datasheet at ChargePoint Product Reference Documentation.
Pedestal-Mount Power Link 2000 Configurations
The pedestal-mount Power Link 2000 supports multiple configurations to meet diverse installation requirements, as described in this section.
Charging Cables
Depending on the charging speed and connectors required, pedestal-mount Power Link 2000s can be installed with one or two liquid-cooled cables (LCC Liquid Cooled Cable) or non-liquid-cooled cables (non-LCC Liquid Cooled Cable). The pedestal-mount Power Link 2000 with LCC Liquid Cooled Cable comes with a liquid cooling system attached to the back of the enclosure.
| Single or Dual LCC Liquid Cooled Cable |
Single or Dual non-LCC Liquid Cooled Cable |
|---|
Cable Management Kit (CMK)
Depending on the required cable reach, the pedestal-mount Power Link 2000 can be installed with a standard CMK Cable Management Kit to manage standard length (5.8 m or 19 ft) charging cables, or with a tall CMK Cable Management Kit or overhead CMK Cable Management Kit to manage medium length (7.6 m or 25 ft) charging cables.

Wire Entry
-
Stub-up entry: Wires can enter pedestal-mount Power Link 2000s and Power Blocks through the bottom of the enclosures via conduits or armored cables laid underground.
-
Surface entry: At sites where the wires cannot be laid underground, they can enter into pedestal-mount Power Link 2000s and Power Blocks through the rear side of the enclosures via conduits or armored cables laid above ground.
