Load Guard
A Smart Sensor
EXTEND THE POWER MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES OF INCH CHARGERS
Load Guard is a sensor installed in the building‘s electric cabinet where it measures the electrical currents and sends real-time data to the charging station. It is especially important in situations where charging stations do not have a dedicated power supply but rather share available power with other consumers in the building. INCH charging stations respond to received data by reducing the charging power to keep a total load of the installation below the installation rated value, or by increasing it to utilise the remaining available power for faster charging.

SAFE AND COST EFFICIENT HOME CHARGING
Load Guard helps prevent installation overloads by lowering charging power when household consumption peaks. By shifting charging times to lower household consumption periods, INCH chargers reduce the charging cost.
UTILISE SURPLUS ENERGY FOR FASTER CHARGING
As Load Guard measures electric current in both directions, the charger can calculate surplus energy for example from renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaics. Green energy can be used for faster and cheaper charging, thanks to algorithms in INCH charging stations.*
*applicable when the charging power is limited due to local consumption.
Desingeed to support your business
Grow your charging cluster as your fleet/user demand increases
Prevent overloads by automatically shifting charging times to off-peak hours and setting the max power for the cluster. Increase grid connection point power only when necessary.
Web interface enables remote troubleshooting for minimum maintenance cost
Monitor and manage charging through the advanced web interface either from a phone or computer. The web app works on any device in the same network and gives the user an in-depth insight into charging energy consumption.
