EV Charger Installation — Orbis Viaris 7.4 kW Single-Phase, Pedestal Mount, San Pedro de Alcántara (Marbella)

Orbis Viaris home charging on a garden pedestal in San Pedro de Alcántara

San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbella, Málaga May 2026Ben HaydenBy Ben Hayden
Orbis Viaris Uni 7.4 kW with the front cover removed during commissioning at this San Pedro de Alcántara villa — the 3G6 mm² RZ1-K (AS) supply core lands on the L (line) terminal, with neutral on the blue terminal and the protective earth on the green-and-yellow terminal, all entering through the IP67 polyamide gland visible at the bottom of the enclosure. The internal contactor module is the dual-rated 32 A device that switches the line and neutral together; the small DC residual current sensor inside the contactor block is the 6 mA detector that ITC-BT-52 makes mandatory on EV charging circuits. The yellow conductor and ribbon harness running to the lower-left PCB carry the CP/PP control-pilot and proximity-pilot signals back to the on-board EV charger via the Type 2 plug. The white corrugated conduit visible at the bottom runs inside the hollow galvanised pedestal back to the consumer unit on the villa wall.

The Challenge: Open-Driveway Villa with No Garage on a Single-Phase 230 V Supply — Wall-Mount Charger Not Viable, Stepping Up to Three-Phase Not Justified for One EV

Planning a charger mounting position and electrical route for a private driveway while accounting for the home's available capacity.

The Solution

Orbis Viaris home EV charger installed on a dedicated pedestal at a property in San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbella. The photographs document the charger and mounting arrangement. A 7.4 kW single-phase rating is a nominal equipment capability, not a promise of delivered power or kilometres per hour. Vehicle limits, available supply and commissioned load-management settings determine actual charging. Cable sizing, protective devices and test results must come from the installation design and records, not be inferred from a photograph.

Technical Specifications

  • Home EV charging in San Pedro de Alcántara, Marbella
  • Orbis Viaris charger and dedicated pedestal shown in the project photographs
  • Single-phase charging: confirm the vehicle AC limit and configured current
  • Confirm load-management compatibility and settings for the actual supply
  • Protection and commissioning documentation are installation-specific; no test measurements or certificate filing are inferred here

Results

Orbis Viaris single-phase home charging with load management on a pedestal in San Pedro. Actual charging power depends on the vehicle, supply and commissioned settings.

Specify charging against the vehicle and supply

A 7.4 kW, 11 kW or 22 kW equipment rating is not a promise of delivered power. Vehicle AC limits, phases, supply capacity and configured current determine charging. Cable sizing, earthing, RCD/DC fault protection, surge protection and documentation must follow the applicable design, REBT/ITC-BT-52 and manufacturer instructions.

BOE — REBT / ITC-BT-52 ↗

Communal private-space charging has a defined notification rule

LPH article 17.5 provides prior notification for private-use charging in an individual garage space, with installation and consumption costs borne by the interested users. Shared infrastructure changes or other arrangements may require additional assessment; do not assume either universal neighbour consent or unrestricted work.

BOE — Ley de Propiedad Horizontal, article 17 ↗

Check current incentive eligibility before budgeting

An eligible spending base is not the deduction itself. Confirm the current tax rule, dates, payment method, installation use and subsidised amounts with AEAT. Load management and solar compatibility also need model-specific checks; neither guarantees free charging or prevents every electrical trip.
