In light of the recent storms in the UAE, many EV owners are concerned about the safety of their electric vehicle chargers.
At eMagine, we understand the importance of safeguarding your investment. This guide will provide essential tips for safeguarding your EV charging station against severe weather conditions.
High-Quality Silicon Sealing
To prevent water ingress that can lead to short circuits, it’s critical to seal all openings thoroughly. Using premium silicon sealing around cable entries and joins during the installation not only increases the durability of your charger but also guarantees long-term protection against harsh weather.
Proper Installation Measures
Along with silicon sealing, the way your charger is installed plays a crucial role in its ability to withstand severe weather:
Chargers should be mounted at a height above typical flood levels to prevent submersion during heavy rainfall.
Install your charger in a location that avoids direct exposure to elements like pooling water or falling debris.
The Role of Enclosure Boxes:
While silicon sealing provides the first line of defense against moisture, enclosure boxes play a crucial role in comprehensive protection. eMagine always recommends the addition of a high-grade, weatherproof enclosure box for any outdoor charger. These boxes shield against not just moisture, but dust, debris, and mechanical impacts as well.
Maintaining Your Charger:
Regular maintenance is essential, especially in regions prone to severe weather. Check your charger periodically for any signs of wear or damage and make sure that all protective measures are intact.
By following these practices, you can secure the protection of your EV charger from storm damage. Remember, the key to long-lasting and safe operation lies in quality installation and proactive maintenance.
If you want to make sure your EV charger is installed with precision and protected against the UAE’s challenging weather, eMagine offers expert installation services tailored to meet these needs.
