3. Planning the install location
Electrical, Mechanical,
& Environmental Requirements
Before beginning work, check the site for appropriate
mounting location and electrical capacity.
The environmental rating of Drive is identical to that
of the Panel. The enclosure is NEMA 3R.
SPAN Drive is intended to be wall-mounted, ideally hitting
a stud (2x4 or equivalent) with 2 screws.
Verify that the wall construction is adequate to support
the weight and continuous use of SPAN Drive. The instal-
lation should conform to applicable building codes.

Max charge rates
SPAN Drive can be congured for various max charge
rates based on the branch breaker it is connected to.
See the section Rated Current Adjustment under the
Installation section for more details. Determine the
desired charging amperage with the homeowner, as
well as based on the availability of space or electrical
capacity in the panel.
The max rated current of SPAN Drive is 48A (60A
breaker). SPAN recommends connecting Drive to a
60A 2-pole breaker, if possible, to allow for the fastest
charging functionalities and full range of features.
NOTE: SPAN Drive may throttle charging based on the power charging commands from the
SPAN Panel. This setting is only meant to correspond to the branch breaker size.
NOTE: Verify that the site mechanical, electrical, and clearance requirements outlined in this
document and the product datasheet are compatible at the planned installation location.
NOTE: NEMA 3R rated conduit ttings are required for outdoor installations.
