The EPC 2.0 offers significant advantages for electric vehicle (EV) charge points:
- Enhanced Safety:
- DC Leakage Protection: Proactively detects and interrupts DC leakage currents (≥ 6mA) to prevent electrical hazards.
- PEN Loss Protection (EPC 2.0 Plus): Automatically disconnects live and earth conductors during a PEN fault, significantly reducing the risk of electric shock.
- Smart Power Management (EPC 2.0 Plus variant only):
- Dynamic Load Balancing / Supply Optimization: Intelligently adjusts charging current based on available household capacity, preventing electrical overloads.
- Modbus RS485 Support: Facilitates remote monitoring and seamless integration into smart energy management systems.
- Easy Configuration & Installation:
- Integrated PSU & DIN Rail Mount: Space-saving design for easy installation within charge points.
- Intuitive 10-Way DIP Switch: Enables quick and on-site customization for Type 2 socket or tethered units, locking mechanisms, adjustable power levels, and more.
- Cost-Effective Solution:
- Integrated Power Supply: Eliminates the need for an external power supply.
- Internal PEN Loss Protection: Offers a cost-effective alternative to external PEN loss solutions.
- Affordable Compliance: Provides a budget-friendly path to meeting IEC 61851 and other safety regulations.
- Versatile Application:
- Supports both single-phase and three-phase EV chargers.
- Suitable for residential and commercial installations.
- Internally configurable to support a wide range of applications.
