The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) has spurred innovation in charging infrastructure. One promising development is the integration of EV charging stations into existing outdoor street lighting infrastructure.
Then there comes one question: How to connect the EV Charger, outdoor street lightning power cable?
One reliable tool is to use Piercing connectors. The piercing connector ZOP-45p manufactured by China Jera Line factory can be used to connect the EV Charger, outdoor street lightning power cable.
Installation Process, below example with Connecting EV Chargers:
1. Prepare the Cable: Route the EV charger cable to the desired location and ensure proper positioning.
2. Install the Connector:
- Select the appropriate piercing connector based on the cable size and insulation thickness.
- Insert the cable into the connector's jaws.
- Close the connector jaws using the provided tools. The piercing blades will penetrate the insulation and make contact with the conductor.
3. Secure the Connection:
- Securely fasten the connector to prevent movement or disconnection.
- Consider using weatherproofing materials to protect the connection from the elements.
Connecting Outdoor Street Lights:
1. Prepare the Cable: Route the street light cable to the desired location.
2. Install the Connector:
- Select the appropriate piercing connector for the street light cable.
- Insert the cable into the connector jaws.
- Close the connector jaws to establish the electrical connection.
3. Secure the Connection:
- Securely mount the connector, for example the ZOP-45P made by Jera Line to the street light pole or other suitable support structure.
- Apply weatherproofing measures to protect the connection from moisture and corrosion.
Safety Considerations:
● Always follow local electrical codes and safety regulations.
● De-energize the power supply before working on any electrical connections.
● Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as insulated gloves and safety glasses.
● If you are not experienced in electrical work, consult with a qualified electrician.
