Procedure for device configuration


Qualified person

This section describes the procedure of device configuration for a charging station.

It provides an overview of the steps, which must be performed in the prescribed sequence.

Settings at point of interconnection

Explanation

See

Grid nominal voltage

Nominal value of the grid (e.g., 230 V)

Configure device)

Maximum unbalanced load

Unbalanced load limit per national regulations (e.g. 4.6 kW in Germany). This is important for regulating the operation of single-phase and two-phase charging vehicles and the boost function.
Information: If no unbalanced load limit is required, the set value remains at 7400 W.

Configure device)

Phase assignment

Assign line conductors in the same way as the Sunny Home Manager 2.0 or Energy Meter at the point of interconnection. Important for the integrated unbalanced load regulation function.
Information: If the charging station is to be operated in single-phase mode, select the line conductor in this step.

Configure device)

Operation with meter at point of interconnection

Explanation

See

Nominal current of the point of interconnection

Nominal value of the selective circuit protection at the point of interconnection or at the Sunny Home Manager. Important for control to ensure power outage protection.

Configure device)

Active power limitation fallback value, control at the point of interconnection

Fallback charging power in case of loss of communication.

Configure device)

Charging settings

Explanation

See

Nominal active power

Ability to limit the maximum charging power, e.g. to 11 kW.

Configure device)

Minimum charging current

According to IEC 61851, min. 6 A. Can be adjusted for the specific vehicle, e.g. to 10 A.

Configure device)

AC current limitation

Nominal value of the miniature circuit breaker for the separate electric circuit for the charging station.

Configure device)

Disconnection after full charge

Relevant for the Sunny Home Manager to plan and reserve charging power. Select Yes if the available power is to be provided to the other optional loads after the charging process is completed. Select No if the charging station is the only controlled load, or if prior climate control is to be used.

Configure device)

Standby for charging process to disconnection

Time until activation of “Disconnect after full charge”. The default value is set to 15 minutes.

Configure device)

Lock the charging cable to the charging station

Permanent locking of the charging cable to the charging station.

Configure device)
