General Precautions on Charging Hardware Installation

Information

This recommendation applies to regions with NEMA 6-50/NEMA 14-50 standards. Vehicle charging can involve high electric currents. For safety, use only components approved for this purpose and ensure professional installation of charging equipment. Porsche recommends that homeowners install industrial-quality electrical receptacles and have the installation performed by qualified electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local equivalents.

General Safety Instructions

DANGER: Electric shock and fire! Improper use of charging equipment and failure to comply with installation and safety instructions can lead to short circuits, electric shock, explosions, fires, or burns.

• The surface of the charger and associated equipment can become very hot during normal use. This is normal and not an indication of a defect. Always follow the operating instructions provided with the charger, paying close attention to warnings and safety instructions.
• Read the installation instructions in your charging equipment's operating manual.
• Pay close attention to all safety and warning instructions provided.
• Ensure installation is performed by individuals with the necessary electrical training and expertise.
• Adhere to the regulations for electrical installations in your country.

Requirements for the Power Outlet

DANGER: Unsuitable power outlets

Using power outlets that are not of sufficient quality can lead to higher temperatures in the receptacle during charging, potentially causing thermal damage to the receptacle and associated wiring. Low-quality NEMA receptacles or improper installation are not indicative of a defect in the vehicle or Porsche charging hardware.

An unsuitable power outlet can cause short circuits, electric shock, explosions, fires, or burns.

• Use only a power socket type suitable for this installation (see Suitable power outlet/power plug types).
• Use only power outlets that meet the requirements for the quality of contact areas and clamping (see Requirements for the quality of the power outlets).
• The use of ferrules on the supply conductor wiring is recommended to further safeguard the circuit connection at the receptacle.
• Avoid clamping conductor insulation at circuit connection points.

Suitable Power Socket/Power Plug Types

NEMA 6-50 Outlet/Plug

NEMA 14-50 Outlet/Plug

Requirements for the quality of the power outlets

A Contact area only half the plug contact height

B Contact area over the full plug contact height

C Minimal contact area between clamping screw and stranded wire

D Wide contact area between clamping plate and stranded wire

Receptacles from the supplier Hubbell are recommended for their industrial quality and ability to handle high current for long periods.

Requirements for the circuit installation

DANGER: Unsuitable wiring

Using unsuitable wiring can cause short circuits, electric shock, explosions, fires, or burns.

• The branch circuit must be protected with a 50A circuit breaker, in accordance with national and local codes and regulations.
• A 50-amp branch circuit should use a minimum 6 AWG, 90°C-rated copper wire for conductors supplying Porsche charging hardware plugged with a NEMA 14-50 or 6-50 supply cable.

Requirements for Outdoor Installation

DANGER: Direct contact with rain

Direct contact with rain when using the charging equipment outdoors can cause short circuits, electric shock, explosions, fires, or burns.

• Avoid direct contact between the charging equipment and rain.
• Use a rainproof NEMA 3R housing.

General Precautions on (125V) Supply Cable Use

Emergency use only

DANGER: Use only in emergencies

The domestic (125V) supply cable is provided for emergency use only and should not be used by customers for daily home charging. When used, it is recommended to limit 125V charging to a maximum of approximately 12 hours. Charge only to the minimum needed to reach the nearest High-Power Charger (HPC), DC Charger, or suitable Level 2 charger for recharging.
