For load balancing at charging stations, it is important to use cables that are suitable for the required current capacity and that comply with relevant standards and regulations. The choice of cable depends on various factors, such as the maximum current strength, the distance between the charging station and the power source, and the installation environment.
In general, higher current strengths are used for charging stations with load balancing than with standard charging stations. This means that thicker cables are needed to handle the higher current. It is important to choose the right cable cross-section to prevent overheating and loss of electrical power.
For charging stations with load balancing, cables with a higher cross-section are often used, such as 4 mm², 6 mm², or even 10 mm², depending on the specific current strength 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 specify requirements for, among other things, the insulation, conductors, and mechanical properties of the 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 strength requirements, make the right cable choice, and ensure that the installation complies with applicable standards and regulations.
