Standard or regulation
BS 7671
BS 7671 is the UK national standard for electrical installations, covering the design, erection, inspection, testing and verification of low-voltage electrical systems. Section 722 contains specific requirements for supplies to electric vehicles.
A
Active Load Management (ALM)
Active Load Management (ALM) is a load control approach that monitors available electrical capacity and actively adjusts EV charging demand in response to changing site conditions. It may use live measurements, control rules or backend commands to reduce, increase or redistribute charger output.
C
Configurable Current
Configurable current allows the maximum charging current to be set or limited during installation or configuration. It is normally assessed against site capacity, maximum demand, charger grouping and the behaviour expected when electrical demand changes.
L
Load Balancing
Load balancing distributes available electrical capacity between chargers, circuits or site loads to avoid exceeding supply limits. It is normally assessed against site capacity, maximum demand, charger grouping and the behaviour expected when electrical demand changes.
