The maximum output power
the charger is able to manage
must be now set. The value
must
be
equal
maximum available power
from the supply network
(i.e. the maximum power
value defined in the contract
with the energy provider
utility).
To set the charger power value
please
refer
8.1.2 chapter, point 4.
The value of the current
determines the associated
value of maximum output
power for the charger.

With
these
charger is real-time able to
know
the
value
maximum available power and
the value of the power which
is already used by the rest of
the
loads
in
networks (this information is
provided by the external
power meter, through the RS-
485 interface)
As an example, if the supply system is able to provide up to 3.7 KW, the charger maximum
output power must be set at 3.7KW (which means we need to set a maximum current equal to
16A).
Then, if the other loads, connected to the same supply network, are using 2KW, the charger will
receive this information by the meter and will calculate the remaining available power for the
EV charging process: Pcharger = 3.7 – 2 = 1.7 KW.
This is the value that the charger will automatically use to charge the EV battery with the current
connected loads.
