For load balancing at charging stations, it's important to use cables that are suitable for the required current capacity and comply with the relevant standards and regulations. The choice of cable depends on various factors, such as the maximum current, the distance between the charging station and the power source, and the installation environment.
In general, charging stations with load balancing use higher currents than standard charging stations. This means that thicker cables are required to handle the higher current. It's important to choose the appropriate cable cross-section to prevent overheating and electrical power loss.
For charging stations with load balancing, cables with a larger cross-section are often used, such as 4 mm², 6 mm², or even 10 mm², depending on the specific current requirements. It is advisable to consult the installation manual or specifications of the charging station to determine the recommended cable cross-section.
Additionally, it is important to choose cables that comply with relevant standards, such as the NEN 1010 for electrical installations. These standards set requirements for insulation, conductors, and the mechanical properties of cables to ensure safety and reliability.
When installing charging stations with load balancing, it is advisable to consult a professional electrician. They can assess the specific current requirements, select the appropriate cables, and ensure that the installation complies with the applicable standards and regulations.
