Dear all
I consider buying the Victron ev charger plus cerbo gx mk2, but the following things are not clear to me. Cannot find them in manual. Are the following standaard available or available when making own procedure, of not possible in a simple way?
1 do normaal load balancing, but in combination with setting a Max input from the net. Eg. In winter i want that the car starts charging when nett energy import from grid is eg 1kw. This causes that i need less solar before it starts charging. This is an easy way to manipulate the window of charging oppt. Without activating any solar mode… Very effective. So is the a setting available for. Max current from net that is lower than the min charging power! That makes sense after all
-
does the charger balance per phase or al there fases are matching the lowest phase when load balancing?
-
is the ev charger able to only charge over 1phase while 3phase connection and 3 phase car. This to accomplish smaller minimaal charge current when starting up in Solar mode. Car requires minimal 1.4 kw. So if this is van charge over 1phase, solar mode starts fast, otherwise 3x1.4… you get it.
-
can you set the time for restarting loading after a pause? So imagine loads in house cause charging to pause. How long does it take before the charger restarts? And is this adjustable? One does not want ping pong charging…nor that it stays in pause
-
can one switch charging mode while charging? Several brands require a unplugging plus replygging to switch charging modem that is pretty silly. If you find out that dollar charge did not yield enough, then in evening switch to other mode…
6). Can I also get all parameters into home assistant and control from there?
-
can one combine charging modes with timers?
-
how to make sure other people do not use charger? Can one make it to recognize specific cars as mode of access, or can my home assistant send a signal that it is ok to charge as my car is in the drive way…
9 i cannot find any demo of the app. What settings can be set to check the above. Anybody a link?
And maybe offtopic. The alternative i am thinking about is an Alfen Aline with rfid, cable lock and load balancing
In naar future i plan to buy a battery systeem. Most probably Victron…
Would be great if you can help me out. I do not feel buying new stuff for years. That is not sustainable. So now a acceptable voice had to be made…
Thanks!
