1 GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Figure 2 - EFAPOWER Kiosk

Figure 1 - EFAPOWER EV-QC45 STANDALONE

EFAPOWER EV-QC45 charging station is able to charge all electric vehicles compliant with CHAdeMO charging
system and Combined Charging System (CCS) standards.

Depending on the battery capacity, EFAPOWER EV-QC45 can charge properly equipped electric vehicles from
0% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes.

The battery charging state is displayed on the HMI and the
charging cycle finishes by itself or can be interrupted by user
command.

Optional AC outputs are available:
43kVA, 22kVA, 7kVA and 3kVA (Not in USA market).

EFAPOWER EV-QC45 is user friendly and safe. After user
identification, it only requires coupling the charger’s output plug
in the EV for automatic starting if all safety features are
accomplished.

Different configurations are available such as:

 Power Cabinet Standalone - which is represented in this

installation and user manual - or

 Kiosk with Power Cabinet – for a more personalized and

attractive user experience (for more information please contact

our commercial department).

EFAPOWER EV-QC45 has a means of measuring the output
energy that can be used for information and monitoring
purposes. It uses remote IP communication via GPRS, ADSL,
WIFI or any other to communicate business management
data and technical data.

The Quick Charger power electronics unique design results in top tier specifications for conductive DC fast
charging, such as high power output with an industry best power factor, THD and efficiency.

The Quick Charger is highly recommended for EV fleet bases, service stations, EV service workshops and public
EV infrastructure for fast charging.

EFAPOWER EV-QC45 codification and configurations are presented in chapter 3.

4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions that must be followed during installation of the EFAPOWER EV
QC45 Quick Charging Station.

Grounding instructions

The EFAPOWER EV QC45 Quick Charging Station must be connected to a grounded, metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment-grounding conductor is to be run with circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). Connections to the
EVSE shall comply with all local codes and ordinances.

Safety and compliance

This document provides instructions to install the EFAPOWER EV QC45 Quick Charging Station and should not
be used for any other product. Before installing the EFAPOWER EV QC45 Charging Station, you should review
this manual carefully and consult with a licensed contractor, licensed electrician and trained installation expert
to ensure compliance with local building practices, climate conditions, safety standards, and state and local
codes. The EFAPOWER EV QC45 Quick Charging Station should be installed only by a licensed contractor and a
licensed electrician and in accordance with all local and national codes and standards. The EFAPOWER EV QC45
Quick Charging Station should be inspected by a qualified installer prior to the initial use. Under no
circumstances will compliance with the information in this manual relieve the user of his/her responsibility to
comply with all applicable codes or safety standards. This document describes the most commonly-used
installation and mounting scenarios. If situations arise in which it is not possible to perform an installation
following the procedures provided in this document, contact EFACEC. EFACEC is not responsible for any
damages that may occur resulting from custom installations that are not described in this document.

5 INSTALLATION

All matters for installing the EFAPOWER EV-QC45 are described in this chapter.

5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

EFAPOWER EV-QC45 reliability is dependent upon compliance of environmental specifications. The design of
the environmental control system for your EFAPOWER EV-QC45, in case of extreme environmental conditions,
must ensure that the Unit can operate reliably while remaining within the range of its operating specifications.

5.1.1 LOCAL CONDITIONS

The installation of EFAPOWER EV-QC45 shall not be made in a commercial garage (repair facility)
or closer than 508mm (20 feet) of an outdoor motor fuel dispensing device.

EFAPOWER EV-QC45 is in an IP54, IK10 (NEMA 3R) enclosure. This Unit is intended to work below 50ᵒC (122ᵒF)
ambient temperature.

Clearance around the cabinet

The air must circulate freely throughout the ventilation grids in order for the charger’s cooling system to be
effective. The ventilation areas on the sides and back must not be blocked, assuring that the Quick Charger
cooling system can be effective. Efacec recommends clearance of at least 1meter (40’’) in the front (HMI
interface) and on right side (output cables) and 500mm (20’’) of clearance in the remaining sides of the cabinet.

Input Power Cables

AC input cables must be copper with appropriate power rating.

EFAPOWER EV-QC45 can be placed in 3 alternative positions as showed in Figure 5.

Figure 5 - EFAPOWER EV-QC45 alternative orientations

7/32

Even though, non-conductive dust does not influence the system’s operation, it may however, with excessive
accumulation, not allow proper cooling, therefore limiting the equipment’s thermal capabilities. Consequently,

dust accumulation must be avoided in order to guarantee a better thermal performance.
Conductive dust and acid vapors must be kept away from the Quick Charger.

On locations with harsh weather conditions (high temperatures, heavy dust, snow and/or very low
temperatures) it’s recommended to provide additional protection, either inside a building or a shelter, or
providing a protection roof for the Unit. See example in Figure 6.

Figure 6 - EFAPOWER EV-QC45 with shelter

5.1.2 SITE VERIFICATION AND INSPECTION

 Check if the installation of the Quick Charger is not planned to be made in a commercial garage (repair

facility) or closer than 508mm (20 feet) of an outdoor motor fuel dispensing device;

 Check if the access passages to the Quick Charger Station layout site are not blocked in order to allow its

transportation;

 Check if Quick Charger Station layout site is compliant with the specified clearance around the cabinet.
