Installation in Germany
All installation options for the Easee Equalizer – for end customers and installers.
In Germany, residential electricity meters are generally not equipped with a standard HAN/P1 port. As a result, the Equalizer typically cannot be connected directly to the meter. Instead, there are two established installation approaches – depending on the location and requirements.
Installation options
Equalizer + AMP
The AMP is installed directly in the distribution board as a current meter and connected to the Equalizer via a Modbus cable. Enables dynamic load management, PV surplus charging and is §14a-compliant. Suitable for charging units with a main fuse up to 100 A.
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Max. main fuse | up to 100 A |
| Current sensors | CT clamps (included in kit) |
| §14a-compliant | Yes |
| Configuration | Installer App |
Equalizer + Modbus meter
For larger installations or where a compatible energy meter is already in place. The Equalizer Modbus Ready Kit is connected to a supported third-party meter via Modbus cable. For measured currents above 100 A, the Janitza UMG 604 Pro or CVM E3 Mini are available.
| Meter | Measurement range | §14a |
|---|---|---|
| Janitza UMG 604 Pro | from 100 A (CT/Rogowski) | Yes |
| CVM E3 Mini | up to 250 A | Yes |
| Eastron SDM 630 | up to 100 A | No |

Legal requirement since January 2024

Every new charging unit in Germany must be controllable by the grid operator since 1 January 2024. The Equalizer with AMP, Janitza or CVM E3 Mini fulfils this requirement.

Wi-Fi required at installation site
The Equalizer must connect to the same Wi-Fi network as the charging unit. Please check signal strength and availability at the planned installation location before starting.
Installer App
Configuration of the Equalizer and setup of §14a load shedding (GPI Ripple Control) is done exclusively through the Easee Installer App. The app is only available to authorised electricians and installers.
