22kW 44kW 88kW Intelligent Floor Mounted AC EV Charger Commercial Dual Cable Station

Pedestal Layout and Driver Access

The pedestal places the dual tethered charging cables at a working height suited to public and workplace parking. A steel base anchors the cabinet to a concrete foundation, while the narrow body preserves pedestrian clearance between adjacent bays. The front panel can carry an RFID reader, status LEDs and an optional daylight-readable display. For the tethered cable version, the connector position reduces bending and keeps the user away from the traffic lane. Cable holders or socket shutters protect the contact area when the charger is idle. This floor mounted AC EV charger can be finished in project colors and branded for the operator without changing the certified internal layout. The result is a commercial AC EV charger that is easy to identify, simple to use and practical for repeated daily sessions.

Independent Outputs and Thermal Control

The electrical layout uses two isolated output channels, each with its own meter, contactor, current sensing and fault monitoring. Depending on the ordered configuration, available site power can be divided across 22kW / 44kW / 88kW output levels or limited by the vehicle's onboard charger. Copper busbars, flame-retardant wiring and segregated low-voltage controls reduce contact resistance and service risk. Temperature sensors at the terminals and switching devices support controlled current reduction before a component reaches its thermal limit. The dual port AC EVSE therefore continues operating at a safe output instead of relying on an abrupt shutdown. This architecture is useful for fleet depots and public sites where a single fault should not remove both parking bays from service.

OCPP Connectivity and Load Management

OCPP 1.6J connects the charger to a third-party management platform for authorization, tariffs, transaction records and remote diagnostics. OCPP 2.0.1 can be supplied when the project requires stronger device management or ISO 15118 functions. Ethernet is preferred for fixed sites; Wi-Fi and 4G provide alternatives where trenching data cable is not practical. The smart OCPP EV charger reports port status, meter values, alarms and firmware versions to the backend. Operators can also apply schedules or dynamic load balancing limits across a group of pedestals. These functions help CPOs reduce site visits, identify failed sessions and reconcile energy use. The communication hardware is replaceable, so a network upgrade does not require replacing the complete charging station.

IP55 Enclosure and Electrical Protection

The IP55 cabinet resists rain jets and dust encountered in exposed commercial parking areas. An IK10-rated steel enclosure limits damage from accidental impact or vandalism. Inside the charger, Type A residual-current protection with 6 mA DC monitoring detects leakage that could affect upstream protective devices. The design can include Type 2 surge protection, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, ground monitoring, overcurrent protection and terminal temperature sensors. An emergency-stop input opens the charging contactors when the site safety plan requires manual isolation. The IP55 outdoor EV charger is specified for operation from -30°C to +55°C, subject to the ordered configuration and thermal derating curve. Drainage, sealed cable entries and corrosion-resistant coating support longer service intervals in wet, dusty or coastal locations.

Commercial Charging Scope

The 22kW 44kW 88kW Intelligent Floor Mounted AC EV Charger Commercial Dual Cable Station is specified for sites that need repeatable AC charging rather than occasional domestic use. The cabinet supports two parking spaces from one foundation, reducing civil work, protective devices and data connections per bay. Project design starts with the building supply, expected dwell time, vehicle onboard-charger limits and the number of simultaneous sessions. A 22kW outlet does not force every vehicle to draw 22kW; the vehicle requests the current it can accept. This distinction matters when forecasting turnover and revenue.

For a commercial installation, the important decisions are the upstream breaker rating, conductor length, voltage drop, earthing arrangement and communication path. MIDA supplies project drawings and configuration data so the EPC contractor can coordinate these items before equipment arrives. The charger can be ordered for private RFID access, public payment integration or open fleet use. See the MIDA EV charging product range for related hardware options.

Power Planning and Dynamic Load Balancing

Dynamic load balancing measures the facility demand and adjusts charger current within the remaining electrical capacity. It is most useful where the existing transformer also supplies HVAC, lifts, production equipment or kitchen loads. A site meter sends live values to a local controller or backend platform. The controller then assigns available current to active connectors according to a defined rule, such as equal sharing, first connected, departure priority or fleet schedule.

This control method does not create additional energy; it prevents the charging system from exceeding the electrical limit purchased from the utility. For many workplace and residential projects, that difference can postpone a transformer upgrade and shorten the permitting path. It also lets the operator add more physical charging bays than a fixed full-power calculation would allow. The floor mounted EV charger series can be grouped for local or cloud-based load control.

Energy Metering and Revenue Control

Each output channel can use a dedicated revenue meter so the management platform records energy by connector rather than by cabinet. MID Class B metering is available for European billing projects. Session records can include start and stop time, meter values, user ID, tariff, transaction status and fault reason. The operator should confirm local metrology rules before public billing because approval requirements vary by country.

RFID cards suit employee, tenant and fleet access. QR code or payment-terminal workflows suit public use. OCPP keeps the payment logic outside the charger, allowing the owner to change backend suppliers without replacing the cabinet. Local free-vend mode can be configured for sites where billing is not required. This separation of hardware, user identity and tariff management gives the commercial AC EV charger a longer usable service life.

Installation and Commissioning

A reinforced concrete base should be sized for local wind, soil and collision conditions. Incoming power and data conduits enter through the pedestal base, where sealed glands maintain the enclosure rating. The installer verifies phase sequence, protective-earth continuity, insulation resistance, residual-current operation, network communication and emergency isolation before energizing a vehicle session. Torque values for input terminals should be recorded in the commissioning report.

For grouped installations, contractors should label each charger with its OCPP identity and physical bay number before backend enrollment. Cellular signal strength must be tested with the cabinet closed. Ethernet cables should be segregated from power conductors and protected against surge propagation between buildings. MIDA can provide a factory acceptance test checklist and remote commissioning support for distributors and EPC teams. Refer to commercial EV charging stations for site-planning options.

Technical Specifications

Component Selection and Service Access

The internal assembly separates power switching, metering and low-voltage communication. This reduces the chance that service work on the modem or display exposes a technician to the main busbar area. Plug-in communication boards and terminal-based field wiring simplify replacement. Contactors, protective devices and meters are selected for the ordered current, not shared across ratings without review.

Routine maintenance includes checking enclosure seals, input-terminal torque, contact discoloration, residual-current test records, surge-device status and connector wear. Tethered cables should be inspected for cuts, crushed sections and strain-relief movement. Socket shutters and locking pins should be cleaned and tested for free movement. Remote alarm history can help determine whether a fault is caused by the vehicle, connector, grid voltage or communication path.

Applications and Operating Models

Workplace sites typically use scheduled charging and employee RFID access. Retail sites need simple payment and clear status indication because drivers are unfamiliar with the hardware. Apartment developments need tenant allocation, fair billing and limits that follow the building demand. Fleet depots focus on departure readiness and may prioritize selected vehicles rather than divide power equally.

The same pedestal can support these models through configuration rather than a different enclosure. CPOs can connect the charger to a roaming platform, while private fleets can operate it on a closed network. When network service is interrupted, a whitelist or local authorization option can keep approved users charging, subject to the project policy. For backend integration requirements, review smart OCPP charging systems.

Compliance, Documentation and OEM Supply

Final compliance depends on the ordered voltage, connector, protective-device set and destination market. Buyers should request the certificate set that matches the exact model on the purchase order. Project documentation can include wiring diagrams, installation instructions, OCPP parameter sheets, inspection records and factory acceptance test results. Claims not covered by the selected certificate package should not be used in tenders or public marketing.

OEM work can cover cabinet color, logo, screen graphics, cable length, socket standard, payment hardware and backend settings. Electrical changes require engineering review because they may affect temperature rise, clearances, EMC or certification. MIDA confirms the approved configuration in drawings before production. Contact the custom EVSE engineering team for project-specific documentation and commercial terms.

Technical FAQ

How are 22kW / 44kW / 88kW ratings used in a dual-port charger?

The ordered rating defines the available cabinet or channel capacity. Two vehicles may share the available current, or each channel may have a fixed limit. The vehicle's onboard charger remains the final limit. The project single-line diagram and load-control policy should state whether power is fixed, shared or dynamically assigned.

When should a buyer select a cable version instead of a socket version?

A cable version reduces driver steps and suits fleet or controlled parking. A socket version reduces permanently exposed cable wear and lets drivers use a vehicle-compatible cable. Public authorities often choose sockets to simplify replacement and reduce vandalism risk; fleets often choose tethered cables for speed.

Can dynamic load balancing avoid a transformer upgrade?

It can avoid or postpone an upgrade when the site's spare capacity is adequate over the required charging window. It cannot compensate for insufficient daily energy. The correct study compares transformer capacity, building demand profile, vehicle energy requirement, arrival time and required departure state of charge.

Does OCPP lock the owner to one software provider?

No. OCPP is intended to separate the charger from the central platform. Migration still requires compatible OCPP features, security certificates, charger identities and configuration files. These items should be included in the procurement and handover documents.

What protection is required for outdoor AC charging?

The design should include residual-current protection, DC leakage monitoring where applicable, overcurrent protection, protective earth, surge protection and temperature monitoring. Local electrical codes may require upstream devices in addition to the protection inside the charger.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide site voltage, power rating, number of ports, connector type, cable length, network method, payment method, backend platform, enclosure color, destination country, certificate requirement and expected quantity. A site single-line diagram helps engineering confirm upstream protection and load-management scope.

Project Handover and Operating Records

A complete handover package should identify every charger by serial number, physical bay, OCPP identity, circuit number and protective-device rating. The operator should retain insulation, earth-continuity and residual-current test results together with network settings and backend credentials. Preventive-maintenance intervals can then be based on connector cycles, environmental exposure and recorded alarms instead of a fixed calendar alone. Site staff should know how to isolate one pedestal without interrupting adjacent equipment. Spare parts for the communication module, contactors, meter and user interface should match the exact hardware revision. These records shorten troubleshooting time, support warranty assessment and give a future service contractor enough information to work safely.
