The Greenlane Infrastructure project demanded a low-voltage switchboard capable of supporting high-power EV charging stations while meeting stringent UL 891 standards. Key challenges included:
LSE delivered a customized R Series rear-connected UL 891 switchboard tailored to Greenlane’s unique requirements. The solution incorporated:
Advanced Circuit Protection: The R Series switchboard featured electrically operated circuit protection with a dual-control system, integrating Ethernet-based controls for remote monitoring and traditional relay logic for simplified local maintenance.
Fault Current Limitation: The switchboard was engineered to limit fault current on each feeder to under 10KAIC, ensuring compliance with the charger manufacturers’ UL listings and enhancing system safety.
Structural Steel Base: To simplify onsite installation, LSE provided a structural steel base that allowed all units to be pre-installed and tested at the factory. This design enabled the switchboard to be offloaded directly from the truck to the piers, allowing contractors to begin cable pulls the following day.
The deployment of LSE’s R Series switchboard at the Colton, California site delivered significant benefits:
This successful implementation solidified LSE’s role as a trusted partner in supporting the expansion of EV charging infrastructure, delivering innovative solutions that meet the demands of modern energy systems.
Lake Shore Electric’s customized R Series switchboard provided Greenlane Infrastructure with a reliable, efficient, and compliant electrical solution for their EV charging station in Colton, California. By addressing the project’s unique challenges with innovative design and streamlined installation, LSE demonstrated its commitment to powering the future of sustainable infrastructure.
