The load balancing kit consists of three split-core CT coils placed around the main cables above the main circuit breaker. These CT coils measure the used current per phase and communicate this to the charger via a hardwired connection. You can find information on the load balancing kit installation in the manual that Peblar provides.
-
During commissioning, you can configure any charger as a leader or follower. To guarantee optimal flexibility for the installer, there’s no distinction in our product range in that regard.
In a group of chargers, only one Peblar charger can be configured as a leader; the other chargers should be installed as followers. When commissioning the leader, you can indicate how much current there’s available for the group of chargers. When this is done for all chargers in the group, the leader will evenly distribute the available current and ensure that the group will not exceed the given threshold.
-
Not connected to the backoffice: After the commissioning steps in the web interface, the charger should reboot. When the reboot and commissioning are successful, the light on top of the charger will turn green.
Connected to the backoffice: After the commissioning steps in the web interface, the charger should reboot. When the reboot and commission are successful, the light on top of the charger remains yellow. The charger then sends a notification to the back office. The CPO should change the availability of the charger to ‘Operative’. After this step, the LED's light turns green, and the charger is ready to use.
-
The charger's display shows a variety of information; see the picture below. Also, when the charger boots, it shows the hash of the meter and the total charged energy over a lifetime.

Connecting the charger to Wi-Fi or ethernet is helpful since it allows you to access the charger through your browser by entering your unique Peblar IP or ID address. You can choose smart charging modes, which can save unnecessary costs. A Wi-Fi or ethernet connection is required for load balancing with a P1 dongle. The Peblar supports this functionality.
-
Yes, the Peblar charger can perform load balancing in multiple ways. For example, it can execute this charging strategy using the CT coils. These coils are connected to the charger and placed over the three main wires under the main circuit breaker. Another way is to read out the smart meter using a P1 interface and connect this interface to the Peblar charger. In a future firmware update, Peblar will also support reading out Modbus meters. The Peblar charger will then be able to perform load balancing based on the information received from these meters.
-
