DCC-11 Electric Vehicle Energy Management System

EIN DCC 11 EV 400

August 26, 2022

DCC-11, manufactured by Thermolec, is an energy management system designed to allow the connection of an EV charger to the main feeder of a panel without affecting the load calculation. 

HOW IT WORKS 

  1. DCC does a real-time reading of the total power consumption of a home or condo electrical panel;
  2. It detects when the total power consumption of the main circuit breaker exceeds 80% and temporarily de-energizes the charger.
  3. When DCC detects that the total power consumption of the electrical panel is less than 80% for more than 15 minutes it automatically re-energizes the charger.

DCC will only allow power to be delivered to the EV charger if the total demand of the panel is below its full capacity.

FEATURES 

  • Ideal when no more breaker slots are available in a panel
  • Does not affect load calculation of a panel 
  • Automatic billing of electricity by the utility for multi-unit residential building installations. 
  • Can be ceiling or wall mounted. 

Gen-3 of the DCC-11 has the ability to receive and transmit load shedding instructions from an external energy management system via a dry contact input and output.
