2.6.5 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
EVSE decreases the output of current. The current will increase again when there is
availability on the grid.
Also, the load management feature makes sure that the available load is optimally
shared.
