PP_AUTO_AMPACITY should set absolute maximum charge for a single session #90
Comments
The current setting on the front panel is for configuration of the EVSE, so I don't think that should be limited per session. The only place I agree that maybe we should set a limit based on PP would be for $SC with the V (volatile) flag |
Sure I understand that |
Actually, now that I think about it, there are issues with the management of temporary (volatile) changes to max ampacity. $SC can override over temperature throttling or any other volatile changes to the max ampacity. |
Mmm yeah good point. I guess to be on the safe side we should always air on the side of caution and limit the charge rate to the lowest value E.g PP, over temperature should always take priority as the max current rate over $SC. |
We have only 1240 bytes of code space left, after the latest fixes, unfortunately. I am having doubts that we will be able to fit this in, but I will try |
I was able to fit in the fixes. It is difficult for me to test it. Please test and report back.. again, code is in test branch.

changed the code.. doesn't check for V.. always applies:
in D5.0.0 in development branch |
PP_AUTO_AMPACITY
works well to set the correct max charge rate for the non-tethered cable in use. However, once a cable is connected or a charge is active it's then possible for a user to override this maximum by setting the current manually. For obvious reasons this should not be possible. How difficult would it be to make the max current set byPP_AUTO_AMPACITY
the absolute maximum current for that session.Update: After further testing it was found that the openevse does currently revert to the previous max charge setting when the cable in unplugged. Only the issue above remains.
Currently when a cable is unplugged is unplugged the display shows the pilot setting from the last cable to be used. e.g. if a 20A cable was used for the last charging session the display will show 20A when the cable is unplugged. This could be misleading for the next users of the station who understandably would think that this stations is only capable of 20A. While in fact when a 32A cable is plugged in the EVSE then increases the pilot to 32A.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
