CT Clamp for EV Chargers | Dynamic Load Balancing Sensor

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

EV Charger CT Clamp | Dynamic Load Balancing | Real-Time Current Monitoring | Main Supply Protection

Smart load management for compatible EV chargers

The LEAF CT Clamp for EV Chargers is designed to monitor a property's electrical demand in real time, enabling dynamic load balancing when connected to a compatible EV charger.

Installed around the incoming electrical supply cable, the CT (Current Transformer) clamp measures the current being drawn by the property and communicates this information to the EV charging system.

When electrical demand elsewhere in the property increases, a compatible EV charger can automatically reduce its charging output. As demand falls, the charger can increase its charging rate again.

This helps manage the available electrical capacity and reduces the risk of the EV charger contributing to an overload of the property's main electrical supply.

Dynamic Load Balancing

EV charging can represent a significant electrical load, particularly when other high-demand appliances are operating at the same time.

A CT clamp monitors the overall electrical demand of the property.

When used with a compatible EV charger and load-balancing system, the charger can use this information to dynamically adjust the amount of power allocated to EV charging.

For example, when household electrical demand increases, EV charging power can be reduced. When demand decreases, the available charging power can increase again.

This allows the EV charger to make better use of the property's available electrical capacity.

Helps Protect Your Electrical Supply

Properties commonly have incoming supplies protected by a 60A, 80A or 100A main fuse.

Dynamic load balancing can help manage EV charging alongside other electrical loads such as:

• Electric ovens
• Electric showers
• Heating systems
• Air conditioning
• Immersion heaters
• Other high-demand appliances

This can be particularly useful in properties where the available electrical capacity is limited or where several high-powered appliances may operate simultaneously.

Ideal For

The CT Clamp is particularly useful for properties with:

• Smart EV chargers with dynamic load-balancing capability
• 60A, 80A or 100A electrical supplies
• High overall electrical demand
• Multiple high-powered appliances
• Domestic EV charging installations
• Commercial EV charging installations
• Load-management requirements

What's Included

• 1 × CT Clamp
• 1 × Connection Lead

Compatibility

Please check compatibility with your EV charger before purchasing.

CT clamps and their communication methods are not universally interchangeable between different EV charger models.

If you're unsure whether this CT clamp is compatible with your charger, contact Leaf Eco Electrical before ordering.

Professional Installation

The CT clamp forms part of the EV charger's electrical monitoring and load-management system and should be installed and configured by a suitably qualified electrician in accordance with the EV charger manufacturer's instructions.

Correct positioning and configuration are important for the load-balancing system to operate correctly.
