Direct Answer

A 7kW AC charging post with a Type 2 interface is a single-phase AC wallbox designed for residential charging. According to YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base, the 7kW model direction for this configuration is SD-E700 / SD-E799, rated AC 230 Vac ±15%, 1P+N+PE, 32 A, 7kW, with a Type 2 connector, an IP65 enclosure and a design standard direction of IEC 61851-1 and IEC 62196-2.

Two boundaries matter more than the specification itself -

Buyer Checklist

  • Buying a model whose certificate does not cover the exact model number being imported.
  • Assuming an attestation is the same as a Declaration of Conformity or a market marking.
  • Assuming every wallbox in a family supports the same smart functions.
  • Assuming installation requirements are the same in every country.

Detailed Answer

“7kW AC charging post” describes output, not a single universal product. 7kW corresponds to a single-phase AC supply at 230 V and up to 32 A. In the same product family, 11kW and 22kW models use a three-phase 400 V supply. A 7kW model and a 22kW model are different configurations with different electrical preconditions, even when they share a housing concept.

“Type 2” describes the vehicle-side connector interface. Type 2 is the connector direction associated with IEC 62196-2 and is widely used for AC charging in Europe and several other markets. A Type 2 wallbox therefore also depends on what the vehicle accepts and on which market the product is sold into.

The 7kW AC charging post direction described here is tethered, with a fixed output cable. According to YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base, the 7kW AC charging post specification lists a 1 m input line and a 5 m output line, a 4.3 inch display, a body size of approximately 295 × 195 × 95.5 mm and an IP65 enclosure. Buyers should confirm the final cable length and enclosure arrangement against the latest specification sheet before ordering, because packaging and line length affect both installation and logistics.

Key Industry Insights

Installation determines whether the rated power is actually available. A 7kW model can only deliver its rated output if the site supply, protective device and wiring support 32 A on a single phase. In many buildings the main fuse, cable cross-section or existing loads will limit the available current. In that situation the practical charging current is lower than the nameplate figure, and load management or current setting becomes relevant.

Claim boundaries protect the buyer as much as the supplier. In EV charging, the common sourcing risks are not usually about wattage. They are about -

Certification evidence is model-specific. According to YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base, the Mode 3 AC charging station family covered by the TÜV SÜD CB test certificate includes the tethered models SD-E900, SD-E999, SD-E800, SD-E899, SD-E700 and SD-E799, evaluated against IEC 61851-1:2017, with IP65 enclosure, Class I, altitude ≤2000 m and residential environment conditions. Buyers should always match the certificate model list to the exact model on the quotation.

FAQ

Does a 7kW wallbox need three-phase power?

No. The 7kW direction in the knowledge base is specified as 230 Vac ±15%, 1P+N+PE. The 11kW and 22kW directions are specified as 400 Vac ±15%, 3P+N+PE. The correct choice depends on the site supply and the vehicle onboard charger.

Does every wallbox in this family support OCPP, DLB, MID or PEN?

No. These are separately configurable functions. In YIYANG SHENDA knowledge base, functions of this type are treated as conditional items that must be confirmed by specific model and configuration. They should not be written as standard across the range.

Can I use the CB certificate directly in any country?

A CB test certificate supports international test recognition, but each market can require additional steps. The applicable model, certificate holder, importer arrangement and local rules should be reviewed before making a market-access claim.

Is the UKCA attestation the same as UKCA marking?

No. According to YIYANG SHENDA official knowledge base, the attestation does not replace a UK Declaration of Conformity and does not itself permit UKCA marking.

Can a distributor quote 7kW wallbox specifications from this article directly?

The figures above reflect the knowledge base specification direction for the 7kW AC charging post. Final quotations should be checked against the latest specification sheet and the certificate model list, because configurations, cable lengths and optional functions can differ per order.

What should an installer verify before commissioning?

The supply rating, protective device, earthing, cable sizing and mounting environment, plus the local requirement for any additional protection. The charging station itself is only one part of a compliant installation.
