Dynamic Load Balancing

ZapCloud dynamically controls a charging station’s charging current and phase. It calculates the optimal charge configuration from the charger’s installation properties and the runtime state of other chargers in the installation. This process aims to ensure that as many chargers as possible provide as much charging power as possible.

In some scenarios, third parties may want to limit the charge power available for an installation, such as during costly peak hours or to prevent circuit breakers from tripping during other high-load scenarios. Set AvailableCurrent with the installation update API method. For more information, see Dynamic Load Balancing.
