Phase switching behaviour when setting charging power via OCPP #190

Open mincequi opened 7 months ago

Hi there, i am actually interested how the go-echarger behaves when i provide the allowed charging power via OCPP SetChargingProfile. Does the go-echarger do phase switching then (e.g. 2000W -> 1 phase @8A and 8000W -> 3 phase @11A)? And is this somehow debounced to prevent hardware damage?

Thanks a lot!

our OCPP stack only allows for specifying the current in A and not the power in W. By the way the OCPP server may also specify the numberOfPhases parameter to limit the number of phases to 1

@0xFEEDC0DE64 Ok, perfect. Thanks for your feedback.

Could you provide information on the device's tolerance to phase switching and any potential damage as a result of a lot of switching? What would you consider as a sane phase switching rate?
