Installing the AC Charging Cable

Modified on Wed, 19 Aug at 3:26 PM

Follow these steps to install the AC charging cable for Morek chargers. 


Cable Information
Morek chargers use the Phoenix Contact CHARX connect eco AC charging cable. This is a Type 2 cable that meets IEC 62196-2 standards and supports AC charging. It includes:

  • A 6.5-meter, straight black cable with a vehicle connector.
  • An open, crimped end for charger connection.
  • A protective cap for added durability.



Connecting Power and Communication Cables


Ensure all cables are correctly connected:

  • Power line: Connect the phases according to charger configuration L1, L2, L3, N, and PE.
  • Communication cable - Control Pilot (CP): This white cable (0.5 mm²) enables communication with the vehicle. If it isn’t connected properly, the charger won’t recognize the vehicle, and charging won’t start.


The signal contact PP is not connected to the cable, but rather to a resistor connected with the PE. It provides the vehicle with the information that an AC charge is taking place with a particular charging current.



Using Phoenix Contact Push-In Terminals


When making connections, always use insulated terminal ends that match the terminal size for a secure fit.


To make a connection, simply insert the ferruled conductor into the terminal opening. Unlike a standard push-in spring (where fine flexible wires need the button held during insertion), the Push-X contact spring is held pre-tensioned inside the terminal.


 When you push the conductor in, it trips a release element and the spring snaps shut automatically — clamping rigid or flexible conductors with a defined force. You get an audible “click” as confirmation, and no tool or button press is needed to make the connection.


Important: Do not press the orange release buttons while inserting conductors into the terminal


The orange buttons are intended only for conductor removal or manual terminal release. Pressing them during conductor insertion can prevent the spring-clamp mechanism from applying the designed contact force to the conductor. This may result in insufficient conductor retention, reduced contact pressure, increased contact resistance, localised overheating, and premature terminal failure.


After installation, always verify that the conductor is fully seated and securely retained. Gently tug each conductor by hand (do not yank). A correctly seated conductor will not move or pull out. Confirm no bare copper is visible outside the terminal, and that insulation reaches the terminal entry.



Cable Colors and Terminal Markings

  • Connect each cable according to the terminal markings and color codes.
  • Refer to the image below for guidance on proper connections.

 


L1 - BN (brown)

L2 - BK (black)

L3 - GY (gray)

N - BU (blue)

PE - GN/YE (green/yellow)

CP - WH (white)
