NOTE: When detailing Load Balancing, this manual assumes the installation of a single
chargepoint. Whilst multiple chargepoints can be connected in a similar way, installers may
wish to consider connecting/monitoring using a third-party, compliant energy management
solution.
If connecting/monitoring via third-party equipment, make sure you are fully aware of the
manufacturer’s instructions so that the device/system can be installed correctly and in
conjunction with the chargepoint installation.
About Load Balancing
This chargepoint has a Load Balancing capability which is designed to prevent overloads of the
property’s power supply when a vehicle is being charged.
Once correctly installed and configured, the system will monitor the power being drawn by the
charging process and will compare this to the permissible maximum for the property as a whole
(which is set as part of the configuration). With this information, the power made available for
charging can be dynamically adjusted to reduce the load before the property’s maximum load is
exceeded.
NOTES:
xLoad balancing ONLY controls power made available to the VEHICLE. It does not control
power to other equipment and it is still possible for that equipment to overload the
property’s power supply.
xDepending on the manufacturer, electric vehicles need a minimum of around 6 Amps to
charge. If the available power is below this level, the vehicle may stop the charge session.
xThe lower the power available for charging, the more slowly the vehicle will be charged.
About Demand Side Response
Demand Side Response (DSR) is where the chargepoint and the electricity provider are in
communication with each other. The electricity provider will control the chargepoint remotely via

Product Features
Intelligent Electric Vehicle Chargepoints QUBEVSM-V01-R0 Installation and Operation Manual
Page 5of 42 February 2023
the chargepoint software to reduce the power it draws when it is needed by higher priorities in the
area and will increase power when those priorities reduce.
If the chargepoint is used with a DSR agreement in place, peak and off-peak charging will not be
implemented because the power company’s systems will control the charging process.
About PEN Protection
The PEN protection system removes the need to install a dedicated earth for the chargepoint
although an earth is still required via the power cable.
In the event of a fault, the system will break all power cable connections between the chargepoint
and the vehicle.

Install Load Balancing
NOTE: This manual assumes the installation of a single chargepoint. Whilst multiple
chargepoints can be connected to a property in a similar way, installers may wish to consider
connecting/monitoring via third-party equipment.
If connecting/monitoring via third-party equipment, make sure you are fully aware of the
manufacturer’s instructions so that the device/system can be installed correctly and in
conjunction with the chargepoint installation.
If load balancing will be enabled on this charge point it should, ideally, be installed alongside the
‘standard installation’.
If installing at a later date, work may be required to enable entry of the Current Transformer (CT)
cable into the chargepoint enclosure.
Overview
Power coming into the property is monitored by a Current Transformer (CT) that clamps around
the property’s incoming power cable and is then connected to the chargepoint.
xThe CT has a cable allowing it to be connected to the chargepoint.
xAdditional cable may be added to the CT cable but to maintain a good signal, it is
recommended that cables extensions are kept as short as possible.
Connect the CT to the Property
Do not use third-party CTs. They may not be compatible with the system and the point at which
load balancing will take place cannot be guaranteed.
1. These instructions are for a single current transformer (CT) used with a 1-phase charger.
Connection of CTs used with a 3-phase charger is very similar and is explained below this
section.
2. The CT clamp should be positioned around the Live (positive) cable between the Meter
and the Consumer Unit.
xThe arrow shown on the CT clamp must point in the direction of electrical flow
TOWARD the consumer unit.
xAlternatively, if required, the CT clamp may be
positioned on the Negative cable leaving the
Consumer Unit. The arrow on the CT clamp must
point in the direction of electrical flow AWAY from
the consumer unit.
3. Release the clip on the CT clamp then open the clamp.
4. Place the CT clamp around the L1 cable.
xMake sure the arrow on the clamp points in the
correct direction.
xNo other cables should pass though the CT clamp.
5. Close the CT clamp and secure it with the clip.

Figure 10 Single-Phase System CT Clamp Positioning Figure 11 three-Phase System CT Clamp Positioning
Connect a 3-Phase CT to the Property
3-Phase electrical supplies have 3x Live cables (L1, L2 & L3).
This means that for a 3-phase system where load balancing is required, a CT clamp must be
installed around each one of L1, L2 and L3.
Unlike a 1-phase system, connecting the CTs to the neutral cable will not allow the system to
function correctly as there are 3 CTs and only 1 Neutral cable.
1. Connect a CT cable clamps to each of L1, L2 and L3 as illustrated above.
Extend the CT Cable
If required, a CT cable may be extended up to a theoretical maximum of 100m.
xTo avoid interference and reduce the loss of signal, extension cables should be as short
as possible. Extensions of 20m or less are recommended.
xExtension cables must be a screened ‘Twisted Pair’. A screened twisted pair within a CAT6
computer network cable may be used.
NOTE: Twisted pairs within a CAT cable are indicated by their matching colours.
Do NOT use conductors of different colours, to extend a cable; interference may be
induced.
If extending more than one CT, use a different colour pair for each CT.
