POD Point PP_2111 Installation Manual - Section 3 : Electrical Work

Each POD Point ideally needs a 240V single phase connection capable of continuously supplying >64 A.  This will allow 

for easy upgrading for faster charging options in the future. Where such a supply is not possible, PP_2111 will accept 

a 45A supply, or POD Point can configure a power management feature to reduce total load to 32A if required (please 

contact POD Point to discuss this). Each POD Point also needs a separate earth (not connected to neutral) usually 

supplied by an Earth spike or mat (TT system), which is fed into the POD Point via a separate conductor. The earth 

should have a maximum resistance of 20 ohms.

There are typically two types of cable installation:

t

Dedicated supply direct onto main, grid.

t

Extension to existing supply.

Connection

2 standard BN25 SWA cable glands are provided to allow cable termination at the charging point. Models fitted with a 

4-way switch disconnector may be supplied from either a 240VAC single phase or a 415VAC 3-phase supply.

Units are supplied with a jumper between L1 and L2 on the supply side to allow connection to a single phase supply.  

This should be removed if installing a 3-phase supply.  If both sockets are to be fed from the same phase, then the 

power conductors on the load side should be moved from L1 and L2 to a common phase as required.

The incoming terminals will accomodate rigid conductors up to 55mm

2

 or flexible conductors up to 35mm

All electrical installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician an be in compliance with BS 7671.
