Introduction 

 

The purpose of this documents is to provide instructions for the use of the 230V socket on the Enelion Lumina charger. The 230V socket is an optional accesory for the station and allows you to power a single-phase appliance such as a lawn mower or electric bike with up to 10A. The socket can be controlled remotely using OCPP backend. In addition, the configuration of the 230V socket during station installation can be carried out in the Lumina configuration panel.

 

 

 

Connection of 230V socket

The power cables and protection (MCB) of the charging station allow up to 32A to be drawn. This means that the socket and the Enelion Lumina station can jointly draw a maximum of 32A. The 230V socket alone allows a load of no more than 10A to be connected. The electrical circuit of the socket is protected against overload by the use of additional fuse, which is located in the housing on the cable on the Lumina backplate.

If a fuse blows, replace it with the model indicated by the station manufacturer. Fuse: 0234010.MXP(Cartridge Fuse 250V 10A Medium Acting )

The use of a fuse with a higher current ratin is not permitted and may result in damage to the appliance as well as fire. Before replacing the fuse, switch off the charger's power supply.

Control of the 230V socket

 

Configuration of the 230V relay socket is possible from the Lumina station's configuration panel while its operation (activation and deactivation) from the Lumina's Dashboard.

Taking into account the long-term current carrying capacity of the power cables, the manufacturer recommends not using the 230V socket during the car charging process (default settings). When using the configuration panel and the option to deactivate the 230V socket during an ongoing transaction, there is no need to worry about exceeding the 32A limit.

Fig.6 Manual switching on/off of the 230V socket

 

The 230V relay socket can be manually switched on or off, and a delay can be set to switch off the socket at a specific time.

Charger in the network 

 

32A will not be exceeded during the charging period, even when the 230V socket is not in use. If both sockets are used at the same time, it must be remembered that their load must not exceed 32A. That is, 32A <== Current drawn by the car + Current drawn by 230V socket.

 

If the current of the connection is exceeded in the whole netwoer, the overcurrent circuit breaker will trip and switch off the power supply in the whole network.

 

If there is an EEG in the mains, then for a connection of up to 32A, the 230V socket can be used unhindered when charging the car. The socket will be treated as an external load on the mains and, as a result, the station will reduce the charging current accordingly and no overload will occur. The diagram in Fig. 8 shows the connection of a Lumina with 230V socket being connected to the mains with EEG. EEG 3.0 will lower the car's charging current, not the 230V socket.

Incorrect use of 230V socket - simultaneous load exceeding 32A 

 

When the station exceeds 32A, through the simultaneous current consumption of the car and the load on the 230V socket, the overcurrent circuit breaker will trip.

 

The purpose of the overcurrent circuit breaker is to protect the electrical installation from overload. This is because a prolonged overload can lead to permanent damage to the insulation of the cable which can lead to fire.
