Installation planning

Pico can be installed in different ways. Here you will find the most common variants described with their specific requirements.

General installation

• Each Pico has DC fault detection in accordance with IEC62955. 

• Pico charging stations with BY 2024 or from serial number 7002702 have an integrated compliant RCD type A according to IEC60947-2.
  - from 2024 or serial number 7002702, a serial RCD type A is no longer required
  - before 2024 or serial number 7002702, a serial RCD type A is required before each charging station for NIN conformity.

• The Pico charging stations can easily handle short-circuit currents of 3kA themselves. If several charging stations are connected to one outgoing circuit, a circuit breaker must be used on the outgoing circuit. The load protection device must be designed for the short-circuit capability of the outgoing circuit. At least 6kA variants are recommended in any case, and it must be ensured for each installation that the tripping current can actually flow due to the installation. If this is not the case, serial load contactors can be used in series with each Pico charging station.

• The internal load protection device of the Pico charging station complies with the requirements of IEC 61851-1.

• Suitable for:
  Ribbon cable installations
  Busbar installations
  Run-off installations
  Stand-alone installations
