Run the Conduit and Cable
Boost Charger service wiring must be installed underground by means of conduit in compliance with local
electrical codes. When calculating the grade, type, and size of the conduit, consult local codes. The outer
diameter of the conduit must not exceed 2.5 inches for the AC power and 0.9 inches for the remote shutoff.
Typical trade size for the AC power conduit is 2 inches and 0.5 inches for the remote shutoff conduit. The
terminals in the Boost Charger are designed to use up to 2 AWG wire. The remote safety shutoff terminals
are designed to use up to 20 AWG wire. The service wiring should not be pulled until the Boost Charger is
securely mounted. This will avoid damage to the wiring during installation of the Boost Charger. The conduit
should extend 8.0” above the surface of the concrete.
Important: The Boost Charger power distribution panel is designed to work with 2 AWG wires. If
using a larger gauge wire to accommodate a long run, reduce the wire size at the disconnect.
Important: Check that the bolts fit properly into the mounting template.
Important: Check that the conduit fits properly into the mounting template before running the
conduit.
Important: The service wiring should not be pulled until the Boost Charger is securely mounted.
This will avoid damage to the wiring during installation of the Boost Charger.
