Going Green : Sustainable Practices in DC EV Charging Cables Installations

Electric vehicle market expansion gains momentum. DC EV Charging Cables are key infrastructure for fast charging. They’ve eased consumers’ “energy replenishment anxiety.” They are vital for promoting electric vehicle popularity. Charging cables are the key link between charging piles and vehicles. They must carry high current and resist wear and tear. They need to be flexible and light. They also need strict electromagnetic compatibility. These traits match the high-performance needs of DC charging piles. They ensure safety and stability under high-frequency and high-power conditions.

●About cable cross-section

Most mainstream DC fast chargers on the market have a power of up to 320KW. These chargers do not have liquid cooling. Their output voltage is 1000V. The charging cable needs to carry higher voltage and current. Reasonable selection of the cable’s width reduces line loss and avoids overheating. It is a key factor in selection to avoid safety hazards. The cable’s cross section should be from 50mm² to 90mm². The needed size depends on the output power.

●About insulation materials.

The outdoor environment is harsh. It has high and low temperatures, rain, and salt spray. It also has dragging wear, wind, and sand. High-power charging can also cause heat. So, use TPE or TPU. They resist heat, salt spray, wear, and weather. They will extend cable life and keep good insulation.

●About electromagnetic interference.

At the same time. In high-power DC charging, the cable may make strong electromagnetic interference. Or, it may face it. Choose a charging cable with a shielding layer, like a tinned copper braid or aluminum foil. This can block outside electromagnetic interference. It also reduces leaks of internal signals and protects sensitive control signals. This is crucial to ensuring the stability and safety of charging communications.
