Power Requirements & Commissioning
All refrigerated containers require a 3-phase 380–440V electrical supply with a 5-pin power connection (3 × phase, 1 × earth, 1 × neutral). The R.C.D. should be fitted with a 32 amp Type “C” or “D” motor-rated breaker to prevent tripping during unit start-up.
Upon delivery, we offer an on-site commissioning service:
Our engineer checks your power supply
Sets the unit to the desired temperature
Provides usage demo and maintenance tips
Important: In order for Bosh Boxes to offer a warranty on refrigerated units, commissioning must be completed by one of our approved third-party engineering partners.
