EVduty EVCCS200 Current Sensor

The EVduty smart current sensor is now available in the store. This device allows the installation of a smart EVduty charging station without the need to add amperage capacity to the electrical panel. Another context of use is when an electrical panel is located in a dwelling of a multi-residential building while the electricity meter is elsewhere, in the basement for example.

This is an exclusive product to EVduty, developed by the Elmec engineering team, which provides an efficient and economical solution to certain problems related to electrical installations for condos and housing or for situations where the power of the electrical panel is limited.

Functioning

This product consists of a smart current sensor that transmits its data over the local network via Ethernet or WiFi to one or more EVduty EVC30 smart charging stations connected to the same local network. The stations will then be able to reduce the maximum charging current so that the total current consumption (by the stations and by other devices in the building) remains below the limit of the protective circuit breaker. Only EVduty branded stations will be able to “communicate” with the current sensor, via a configuration on the EVduty mobile application.

Application #1: ELECTRICAL PANEL LIMITED

For an existing electrical panel that does not allow the addition of a 30A electrical load such as a charging station.

Facility :

• Install the current sensor between the circuit breaker that protects equipment that has a similar or equivalent electrical load and install a 40A circuit breaker for the EVduty EVC30 terminal.

• Configure the sensor and the terminal for connection on the same local network and “communication” between the two devices.

• If the selected equivalent equipment is used, only the remaining portion of current will be available for charging from the EVduty EVC30 terminal. Ex: if the cooker consumes 12A and is protected by a 40A circuit breaker, the current available for the charging station will be (40A x 80%) - 12A = 20A.

Application #2: MULTI-HOUSING

For a multi-unit building situation where the electric meters are in the basement and the electrical panels are in each individual dwelling. An owner of an individual dwelling wants to install a charging station and wants the electricity consumed to come from the electric meter that supplies his dwelling in order to pay for his electricity consumption related to the charging of his vehicle in his electricity bill.

Facility :

• Install a 40A electrical panel on the 125A line between the electric meter and the main electrical panel of the individual dwelling.

• Install a 40A circuit breaker in this subpanel for the EVduty EVC30 terminal.

• Install current sensors on the 125A feeder to measure all current consumed by the individual dwelling and the sub-panel for the charging station.

• Configure the sensor and the terminal for connection on the same local network and “communication” between the two devices

• If the individual dwelling consumes electricity, only the remaining portion of current will be available for charging from the EVduty EVC30 terminal. Ex: if the individual dwelling consumes 80A and is protected by a 125A circuit breaker, the current available for the charging station will be (125A x 80%) - 80A = 20A.
