= approx. 4.3kW). In order to be able to charge with a pure surplus even when the energy yield of the PV system is low (e.g. bad weather), SMARTFOX Pro automatically selects the best operating point. If there is little energy, 1-phase charging can be started from as little as 1.3kW. If the surplus energy increases, the SMARTFOX Pro automatically switches to 3-phase charging and can now continuously control up to 11kW.
This function can be realised via the S0 input of the SMARTFOX Pro. Connection The two wires of the control signal are connected to the S0+ & S0- input of the SMARTFOX. The polarity is irrelevant here. If the normally open contact of the ripple control receiver is actuated, the signal on the SMARTFOX is switched through and the charging stations are blocked.
8.1.5 to 8.1.10. The dynamic load management of the SMARTFOX Pro enables stepless excess charging of up to 5 charging points, as well as dynamic power limitation in order not to overload the house connection fuse or exceed the peak power available from the grid operator.
