The Load Management System helps regulate the charging rate in various EV chargers with the available power. This means that more vehicle chargers can be installed and ensures optimum charging time for the driver. With load management, you can:
- Charge more
Install maximum vehicle chargers. - Cut costs
Save on electricity and system upgrades. - Protect assets
Safeguard your electrical infrastructure. - Monitor usage
Track power use during busy times. - Charge faster
This allows for minimal charging time, efficient operating of EVs.
Like, if you have a panel providing 80 amps and there are four chargers on it, with each requiring 40 amps to function full-time, this can load the panel too heavily. This is where the talking helps – they can take what they need and never exceed, as they talk about taking the available amps.
Dynamic Load Management
In EV charging, software can automate this. For example, when the second EV is plugged in, the system automatically adjusts how much power is used.
How it works
Load-sharing EV chargers use two methods to distribute power through local load management:
- Equally Distributed Load Sharing
All chargers split the available power. If there are 80 amps available and four chargers, then each one will get 20 amps. When one charger leaves, then the others will get a little more power. - First In, First Charged Load Sharing
The first charger gets all the power and others share the rest of the electricity. When one charger is pulled out, the next charger will take the power.
Are EV Chargers Continuous Loads?
If applied with usage, then EV chargers are continuous loads or otherwise, based on how long a vehicle actually charges. For example, if a car charges an EV overnight in a residence or hotel, it constitutes a continuous load. Not, if charging takes only an hour or two in given locations.
When adding electric vehicle (EV) chargers to your property, it’s important to manage their power use to stay within the limits of your electrical system.
