The EV charger process at your home.
Dedicated single or three phase power circuit with RCD Installation.
A separate electrical circuit for electric vehicle (EV) chargers is essential due to the unique power requirements of these devices. Operating on 230/415 volts and drawing 30 to 50 amps of current. This power load is significantly higher than what most household appliances and circuits are designed for.
To ensure safety and reliability, a dedicated circuit is required. It prevents overloading of existing electrical circuits, which could lead to overheating, circuit breakers tripping, and potential fire hazards. By having a separate circuit, the EV charger operates safely and efficiently without affecting other electrical appliances and devices in the home.
Additionally, electrical codes and regulations often mandate dedicated circuits for high-power equipment, including EV chargers, to ensure compliance and safety. Having a dedicated circuit also guarantees a consistent power supply, which is crucial for maintaining the health and performance of an EV's battery.
