In Germany, the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) now allows grid operators to reduce the power consumption of household devices to 4.2 kW, especially when there is a significant load on the power grid.

For Easee chargers, the Equalizer and a compatible meter are required. The following meters are compatible:

• Easee Equalizer Amp 
• Janitza UMG 604 Pro 
• CVM E3 Mini 

The grid operator can initiate load shedding measures via a ripple control receiver or the FNN control box, which is connected to a potential-free contact and communicates with the meter. This system then signals the Equalizer, which adjusts or pauses the charging process accordingly.

Once the grid no longer requires load management, the Equalizer can resume the interrupted or reduced charging process. Reauthorization of the charging process is not required.

For the setup of this system, configuration may only be required through our support team. You can find out if this is necessary in the aforementioned article. Please contact us with any questions in advance.

Equalizer Amp

With the Amp you have the option of selecting 4 control levels. For example, the configuration can be set so that the first signal corresponds to 0% charging power, the second to 40% and so on.

Please note that the wiring will depend on the number of selected control outputs.

Janitza UMG 604 Pro

With the Janitza you have the choice of 2 control levels. For example, the configuration can be set so that the first signal corresponds to 0% charging power, the second to 50% and so on.

Circutor CVM E3 Mini

Here you can only choose between 0% and another % of the charging power. Depending on whether the contact is closed or open.

If a configuration through our support team is necessary, we kindly ask you to contact us in advance to ensure a successful and smooth installation.
