EV charging: garages built for a different kind of load
- Cause
- Many chalet garages in Valdemarín were built before EV charging was a consideration, and the charging point was later added onto an existing circuit.
- Effect
- Charging is slower than expected, or coincides with the residual-current device tripping when other appliances are used at the same time.
- Prevention
- Install a dedicated circuit and protective devices for the charging point, sized to the charger's actual power output.
- ANNA's diagnosis
- ANNA assesses the charging installation within the electrical diagnostic and advises whether it needs an independent circuit.
