2 Description
2.1 Short description
The EVSE (Terra AC) is an AC charging station that you can use to supply electricity to
an EV. The Terra AC offers tailor-made, intelligent and network charging solutions for
your company or home. The EVSE can connect to the internet via GSM, WiFi or LAN.
2.2 Intended use
The EVSE is intended for the AC charging of EVs. The EVSE is intended for indoor or
outdoor use.
The technical data of the EVSE must comply with the properties of the electrical grid, the
ambient conditions and the EV. Refer to chapter 11.
Only use the EVSE with accessories that the manufacturer provides or that obey the
local rules.
The EVSE AC input is intended for a hardwired installation that complies with the
applicable national regulations.
Danger:
General risk
•If you use the EVSE in any other way than described in the related
documents, you can cause death, injury and damage to property.
•Use the EVSE only as intended.

2.6.6 Load management
Load management makes sure that the available capacity of the building or home is not
exceeded. A number of devices share a grid connection, that has a maximum capacity.
The total power demand of the devices that use the grid connection must not exceed the
grid capacity.
The load management feature prevents that the system exceeds the grid capacity and
prevents damage of the fuses. At times when the current demand is high, the Terra AC
will limit the output of current. The current will rise again when there is availability on the
grid.
Also, the load management feature makes sure that the available load is optimally
shared.
