Selecting phase usage

INFO

The menu item is only displayed if SW version 2021.51.9787 or higher is installed on the wallbox.

INFO

The electric vehicle may be damaged when changing over phase usage

The wallbox can be manually switched between single-phase and 3-phase charging using the convenience functions in conjunction with the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter. Before using this function, check whether your vehicle can change the number of phases used for charging between two charging processes. KOSTAL explicitly accepts no liability for usage or installation mistakes.

Select the maximum number of phases with which you want to charge your electric vehicle. Three-phase charging is the default setting. However, you can use this setting to charge all electric vehicles, no matter whether you want single-phase, two-phase or three-phase. The electric vehicle determines the maximum charging power.

For three-phase electric vehicles, here you can change the number of phases for charging from three-phase to single-phase charging, which reduces the charging power to 1.4-3.7 kW. This is a good idea if you want to use Solar Pure Mode, for example, and do not have sufficient solar energy available (e.g. during spring or autumn). In this case, the vehicle can be charged with pure solar energy as of a surplus of 1.4 kW.

• Standard (three-phase)
  The three-phase electric vehicle can be charged with a power of between 4.1 - 11 kW.
• Single-phase:
  The electric vehicle can be charged with a power of between 1.4 - 3.7 kW.

You can only switch between phases if there is not an electric vehicle connected to the wallbox.
