Installing EV Charging Units in Petrol Stations

Petrol stations have various strict requirements regarding their electrical installations for obvious reasons. How will adding a MW size supply for a few high power chargers be dealt with, separation? Will earth leakage currents be a problem? If I remember correctly the reason the canopys are so high is to move the lighting into a different zone.

    Yes, separation required for HV even before we get to the LV side of the transformer.


    There is a supplement for the IET CoP for EV charging installations specifically covering this type of installation: https://shop.theiet.org/electric-vehicle-charging-installations-at-filling-stations
