3.5. De-energizing the appliance
If it is necessary for any reason, you can only disconnect the appliance and the lead-in cable with the circuit
breaker switch installed in the local electrical distribution cabinet by the installer. Label this power switch!
3.6. Limiting the maximum charging current
Charging your vehicle with the maximum charging current of the charger sometimes may overload your home
electrical network. This can especially happen if several high-power consumers operate in the property in
parallel (e.g., electric boiler, electric oven, air conditioner, washing machine, dishwasher, and car charging, etc.)
then the electrical overcurrent protection of the property is activated and one or more fuses (circuit breakers)
in the electrical distribution cabinet are switching off. If this is rare, it turns occasionally then turn off one of the
consumers and turn the fuse back on. Avoid using high-power consumers in your household at the same time
as charging the vehicle.
However, if you regularly overload the home network while charging your car, you have the following options:
• Ask your electricity supplier to increase the electrical performance of the property (this might be an additional
paid service)
• The maximum charging current of the charger shall be limited. Thi
s means that the charger will charge the
vehicle with less power (and of course little slower).
The maximum charging current of the device can be reduced in one ampere steps up to 6A.
To do this, the
removal of the cover of the appliance is required, hence only a qualified electrician shall do it!
Setting the charging current limit is described in the installation guide supplied with the device.
