If charging does not go as expected, the cause might be one of the following:
- Measurement device offline
- Excessive load
- Incorrect information regarding car model
- Incorrect settings
Measurement device offline
If the Measurement device has gone offline, the car still will be able to charge on all phases but with a limitation.
Excessive load
If your current consumption is too high and the charging box is load balanced, charging process will be limited. If you are an end-customer and do not have access to info about your consumption level, please you ask your installer to check this.
Incorrect information regarding car model
It is not uncommon for the car model not to charge as you thought. At Electric Vehicle Database you can find most electric car models and how they charge. Otherwise, contact your car manufacturer if you cannot find what you are looking for.
Charging hybrids usually only charge 1-phase, some can charge 2-phase, but none charge on 3-phase.
Incorrect settings
There is a risk that the load balancing is not set correctly. If you are an installer and have doubts about settings, Charge Amps has an online training course for installers.
