Dynamic Power Sharing (DPS) monitors a building’s demand and compares it to its maximum allowable value. When it is lower than the maximum, DPS can supply all the remaining available power to reach the maximum to the charging network. Contrarily, if the buildings’ demand is equal to or greater than its maximum permitted value, no power will be supplied to the charging stations.
By taking advantage of periods with low demand from the building side, the charging network’s demand can be satisfied without increasing the installation’s overall power.

- Indicate the Number of chargers present on the installation.
In the Max. current per phase field, specify the main breaker rate current or subscribed current (in amps), whichever is lower.
- Define the Min. current per charger (in amps) each charger will operate.
Turn on Dynamic Power Sharing. Specify the Building breaker max current (in amps) and the Subscribed power (in kVa).
Click Save and ensure that the status “Primary charger with all secondary chargers paired” appears.
