The current in every building is limited (e.g., 63A). Load balancing ensures that when multiple appliances are used simultaneously, the power is managed to prevent fuses from tripping or lights from going off.
Why is load balancing important for Electric Vehicles?
Charging an EV requires significant power. If multiple EVs charge at once, or if an EV and heavy household appliances run together, you risk overloading your system. Load balancing manages this demand efficiently.
What are the benefits of Load Balancing for older electrical systems?
Older house electrics often cannot handle high loads. Instead of paying astronomical costs to upgrade your entire circuit, load balancing provides a simple and cost-effective way to manage energy safety.
How does Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) work?
With DLB, the charger intelligently and automatically adjusts how much power it draws. It monitors real-time activity and scales the energy demand up or down to stay at a happy optimum.
Can DLB adjust based on my household activities?
Yes. For example, if you are cooking dinner and using lights, the charger dials down its energy draw. When appliances are switched off at bedtime, the charger automatically steps up the energy demand to charge your car faster.
Does Dynamic Load Balancing require manual control?
No, the best part of these chargers is that the entire management process happens automatically. You don't have to manually switch appliances on and off to keep the system running.
