In case you live outside of Norway you can order a charger with a red 3 Phase plug for TN Net.

In case you live in Norway you need to check what kind of electricity net you have so that you order a charger with the correct plug. In Norway we have two different electricity network and what electricity network you have depends on where you live. To check what you have you can go to the main fuse box in your house and look for a red, blue or black label.

If you have a red sign saying 400V like the image below show you will need to order a charger with a Red 3 Phase plug.

If the label is blue or black saying 220V like the image below you shall select a charger with Blue 3 Phase plug in case you have a Tesla, and a charger with Blue 1 Phase plug for all other car brands. In case you have both a Tesla car and also a car with another brand you shall select a charger with a Blue 1 Phase plug as many new cars will refuse to charge on 3 Phase 220 V networks. In case you are not sure what to select you may call us or your electrician.

Our charger requires a so called CCE socket. Some people call it industrial socket. It needs to the right or the left where the charger shall be placed, please see the image below. Most people do not have a CEE socket from before and will need an electrician to install this. We have a fixed price agreement with electricians for installation of a CEE socket.

In case you live in Oslo or close to Oslo you can contact Moderne Elektro, https://moderneelektro.no/ on phone 22 12 01 05 or send them an email on firmapost@moderneelektro.no. Moderne Eektro will install a CEE socket for a fixed price of 8 500.- NOK inclusive MVA on the following terms:

A maximum of 15 meters of cabling from the main fuse box to where the charger shall be placed
New dedicated line in the main fuse box
CEE socket where the charger shall be placed
Making holes and materials

Installation of a new line for a charger requires that you have over voltage protection in your main fuse box. This will be charged extra in case you don’t have this from before. Digging or putting tubes in walls will also be charged in addition. Cabling more than 15 meters will also be charged.

The charger you can just order from us, and hang up on the wall yourself. The metal plate that comes with the charger is easy to screw up on the wall and then you just hang the charger on the metal plate. Further information is found in the manual that comes with the charger.

In case the charger is hanging outside and you are afraid that someone will steal it you can screw a ring eyed screw in the wall and use a lock to fasten the charging wire like the image below shows.

Common Garage

Our charger is ideal for common garages. The garage management can have CEE sockets and the affordable back plates installed on all parking lots in the garage. Then the car owners can order chargers themself directly from our shop when they will need a charger. The charger is easy to hang up on the back plate. There is only one screw to fasten the charger.

A main user needs to be responsible for all chargers in the garage. This user will add all chargers in the app and make the available for all persons that shall be allowed to use that charger. When you shall buy a charger for a common garage you only need to check if there is a red or blue socket to connect the charger to. In case the plug is red you order the charger with the Red 3 Phase plug. If there is a blue socket you can check how many holes there is in the socket. If it is 3 holes you shall order the charger with a Blue 1 Phase plug. If there is 4 holes you shall order the charger with the Blue 3 Phase plug.

Our charger supports load balancing in the between the chargers so that everyone can charge maximum on the available electricity. This can be enabled by adding a load balancer module to the main meter. The main user will have detailed overview over how much every charger in the garage has charged.

For Electricians

Our charger can be equipped with a Red 3 Phase CEE or a Blue 1 or 3 Phase plug. The Red plug is used for TN networks and the Blue plugs for IT networks. Currently it is only Tesla that fully supports IT 3 phase charging. All other car brands should select a 1 Phase plug in case of IT net. The charger has embedded RCD 30 mA AC and 6mA DC protection so only a normal fuse with ground error breaker is needed in the fuse box. In private homes we recommend to always cable for 3 phases from the fuse box to the socket next to the charger.

In case a 1 Phase socket is used for IT networks, L2 and L3 is blinded in the socket. That way the socket can be changed later when more car brands support 3 Phase charging on IT networks. Please place the socket directly to the left or the right of where the charger is supposed to be placed as the image below shows.

In common garages you can either install a separate cable to each charger or you can use a heavier cable and add a 32A fuse breaker with ground error deduction next to each charger. The electrician can order the affordable back plates and install them so that user can buy chargers and hang them up themself when they will need a charger. We recommend to rotate between the cabling so that L1, L2 and L3 is connected to L1 on every 3rd socket as most of the cars have only one onboard converter and therefore only charges on one phase.
