Hi there, the specific question is which components are strictly needed to work with load balancing limits in the EV charging station (in my case: 32 Amps in a 3 phase system) defined by the local grid net provider and primary and secondary fuses.
So given that a normal connection in Austria has 3 phases with 35 Amps each, but there are also multiple other devices consuming power in a household besides the EV charging station, the 35 Amps limit (32 Amps) shall not be surpassed.
Do I just need a compatible smart meter (which one) or do I need the Cerbo GX station as well to let the EV charging station dynamically adapt to the available power.
I second the question. I’m currently on the market for installing an EV Charging Station (possibly two) at home but it’s kind of unclear what’s needed for DLM and have the charging stations back off (i.e. other loads in the house take priority) and prevent the main breaker from tripping.
Currently Victron EV Charging stations do not have dynamic load balancing feature available.
There is a function which prevents an overload, but that is not to be misunderstood as a load balancing feature.
You can use node red to program something yourself and there are some DIY’ers providing already running scripts.
You would be needing a Cerbo GX ( which hosts Node Red but also gives you VRM ), a Victron Energy Meter and a Victron EV Charging Station.
Hope that helps a bit more but I could also raise more questions ;-).
