Is it possible to limit the Cabinet internally without EMS?
Yes, it is possible to manually set internal power limits for Autarco battery cabinets. This allows you to control the maximum charging and discharging rates directly via the inverter settings, providing a safeguard even if an external Energy Management System (EMS) is not present.=
In some installations, the potential discharge power of a battery cabinet might exceed the rating of the local fuses or the electrical infrastructure. Without an automated EMS controller to monitor the building's total load in real-time, there is a risk of tripping breakers during high-demand moments.
Description of the solution
Autarco cabinets allow for independent configuration of charge and discharge limits. This internal setting acts as a "hard cap" on what the cabinet is allowed to do.
-
Asymmetrical Settings: You can configure the system to charge at full power (to take maximum advantage of solar peaks) while strictly limiting the discharge power.
-
Fuse Protection: For example, if you know your household consumption or infrastructure cannot handle the full discharge rate of the cabinet, you can lower the discharge limit to match your known safe consumption levels.
-
No EMS Required: While an EMS Controller (like the Autarco EMS Pro) provides dynamic optimization, these internal static limits are managed by the inverter (of the cabinet) itself. This provides a reliable way to prevent blown fuses due to battery discharge
How to use: Please refer to the products manual to find the correct way of configurating these limits.
