Additional settings
The cogwheel (Settings) takes you to the additional setting options.
Available charging devices
This view provides an overview of the charging devices set up as well as their status. You can also add a new charging device or update the wallbox software by going to Update Updating wallbox firmware.
By going to Actions > Change, you can also select the name, the serial interface, the slave address or the phases used for charging. Selecting phase usage
Overload protection
The overload protection prevents the main fuse from tripping at the grid connection. This is configured in the wallbox via DIP switches and displayed here. The settings cannot be changed here.
- With a 3-phase grid connection, the grid connection has three main fuses.
- With a 1-phase grid connection, the grid connection has one main fuse.
The rated current of each fuse can be read off the fuse/circuit breaker in the house connection box.
Phase balancing
The unbalanced phase load is calculated from the greatest difference in currents between the connected phases. The Energy Manager undertakes phase balancing in order to observe the set limit value. The current consumption of controllable consumers is restricted in order to achieve this. In Germany, the maximum permitted value is 4600 VA. Please find out the maximum that applies to your country and set the maximum unbalanced phase load permitted in your country.
Advanced settings
Some electric vehicles may experience problems with low charging currents.
The 2011 CP EV out of signaled duty range ID is output as an event in the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter.
If this happens, a higher minimum charging current can be selected to remedy the problem.
The problem occurs if a low start charging power (e.g. 6 A) has been set in the wallbox for Solar Pure Mode or Solar Plus Mode but the electric vehicle needs more power (e.g. 8 A). This results in an error in the wallbox. Increasing the minimum charging current can remedy the problem. However, this also means that all electric vehicles will always start with the increased minimum charging current as long as this setting is activated.
Minimum charging current | Set the minimum charging current per phase from 6 to 16 A. Default value 6 A. |
Phase switching
Here you can download the log file (phase_switching_log.txt) for the logged phase switching.
The following aspects are recorded in the log file:
- the day and time at which the switchover took place,
- the electric vehicle connected,
- the charging device used,
- the phase usage selected (standard or single-phase).
