process.
11 Load balancing
Up to two chargers can be connected together to the same supply network, with the possibility
to share the overall amount of power, between each other and all the other loads supplied by
the same network.
The limit of two chargers is due to the maximum rated current of the external power meter
(i.e. in case of 32A charger and 80A rated meter two chargers are allowed.
The charger which is considered as the process master is connected to the external power
meter, through its RS-485 interface, see paragraph 10.
The other chargers are connected to the master charger and with each other's, by means of a
CAN BUS interface. See the picture below for the application scheme.
In this configuration the master charger informs the other chargers about the overall amount
of available power to share between the parallel charging processes.
