Patent attributes
A charging station charges an electric vehicle. The charging station has: a housing, a number of first power electronics components and a number of second power electronics components, the second electronics components being different from the first power electronics components, wherein the first power electronics components and the second power electronics components are arranged spatially in the housing, and a first air cooling circuit and a second air cooling circuit separate from the first air cooling circuit. The air cooling circuits are arranged spatially in the housing. The first air cooling circuit serves to cool the number of first power electronics components. The second air cooling circuit serves to cool the number of second power electronics components. The charging station is designed such that a first protection class of at least one region of the first air cooling circuit is higher than a second protection class of the second air cooling circuit.
