3 Requirements
3.1 General criteria for site selection
The BMW Wallbox is designed for indoor and outdoor use. Therefore, it must be ensured that the site
you select complies with the installation conditions and provides suitable protection for the device.
■Ensure that you comply with local regulations for electrical installations, fire safety and accident
prevention as well as keeping local rescue and escape routes clear.
■Do not install the BMW Wallbox at locations:
- Which are used as escape and rescue routes,
- Which are inside zones where there is an explosion risk,
- At which the BMW Wallbox is exposed to ammonia or ammonia gases,
- At which the BMW Wallbox may be damaged by falling objects,
- At which the BMW Wallbox is on a footpath used by people who may trip over the connected
vehicle connector plug,
- At which the BMW Wallbox may be struck by a water jet,
- At which the installation surface does not have the requisite capacity to withstand the mechanical
stresses.
■If possible, install the BMW Wallbox so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight to prevent excessive
temperatures on components of the BMW Wallbox reducing the charging current or interrupting
the charging cycle.
■Ensure that the ambient temperatures comply with the specifications, see section entitled
“Technical Data”.
■Ensure that you comply with the national and international installation standards and regulations.
3.2 Specifications for the electrical connection

The connection cable must be wired into the existing building installation and comply with the national
statutory regulations. For versions
■61 90 5 A1E 1B1
■61 90 5 A1E 1B4
the following considerations must be made:
■Every BMW Wallbox must be connected using its own residual-current-operated circuit breaker
(RCCB). No other circuits may be connected to this RCCB.
■RCCB at least type A (30 mA trip current).
■Additional measures have been taken in the device to protect it from a direct current (DC) error
(> 6 mA DC).
■These measures satisfy the requirements of IEC 62955. This means that there is no general
necessity to use a residual current device (RCD) type B, unless one is explicitly required by the
applicable installation regulations.
3.4 Choice of circuit breaker
When selecting the circuit breaker, you must also take into account the increased ambient
temperatures in the control cabinet. In certain circumstances, this may require the charging current
to be reduced to increase the system’s availability. Set the rated current to suit the required charging
capacity, the available connecting rating and the details on the model plate.
An RCD type B (40 A min. and 400 V min.) must be used for the following versions:
■61 90 5 A1E 1B1
■61 90 5 A1E 1B2
■61 90 5 A1E 1B4
An RCD type B (50 A min. and 250 V min.) must be used for the following versions:
■61 90 5 A1E 1B3
■61 90 5 A1E 1B5
3.5 Choice of connection cable
When selecting the connection cable, take into account the possible reduction factors and increased
ambient temperatures in the BMW Wallbox’s internal connection zone, see temperature details for
the connection terminals. In certain circumstances, this may require the cable cross-section to be
increased and the temperature resistance of the connection cable to be adjusted.EN11
3.6 Mains isolator
The BMW Wallbox does not have a main switch. The RCCB and circuit breaker on the building
installation are used as the mains isolator.

Ambient conditions
Operating temperature -40 °C ~ +50 °C
Temperature properties This is not a safety device, it is only a function. The specified
operating temperature range must not be exceeded. The device
supplies the charging current continuously within the specified
operating temperature ranges. To increase the charging availability,
the charging current is reduced from 32 A to 24 A, 16 A and 6 A if the
temperature is exceeded. After this, the charging cycle may also be
shut down. Once the temperature has dropped, the charging cycle is
continued and the charging current is adjusted to the configuration.
Storage temperature -40 ºC to +80 ºC
Humidity 95 % relative humidity, non-condensing
Height 3,000 m
Cooling Natural cooling
Impact protection IK09
Overvoltage category OVC III
Action after a power outage Random delay between 5 and 100 seconds before the charging cycle
is restarted after a power outage
Note: The available charging capacity depends on the vehicle, infrastructure and general
settings.
