EVlink Home Anti-tripping System

Overview

Home anti-tripping is a power load management system that continuously adapts the power supplied to charge the car, taking home consumption into account.
The power availability is calculated by the anti-tripping system by comparing the utility power limit and the home consumption gathered by a current transformer positioned on the bottom of the main circuit breaker.
NOTE: Anti-tripping module is designed for use with the EVlink Home charging station. Do not use with other electrical devices.

Installing Anti-tripping system
