Description
This error signifies that the connected load is drawing a current exceeding the device's capacity of 16A. This typically occurs when the connected load, such as heaters or other appliances, exceeds the permissible power rating.
If this issue is not addressed, it can lead to operational interruptions or damage to the device and connected equipment.
Checks to Perform
Follow these steps to identify and resolve the issue:
1. Verify the Power Rating of All Connected Heaters
- Locate the manufacturer's label or documentation for each connected heater.
- Check the power rating (in kW or W) and ensure it is within acceptable limits.
2. Ensure Total Load Does Not Exceed Maximum Ratings
- Add the power ratings of all connected heaters.
- Ensure that the total combined load does not exceed 3.7kW per heater output.
Note:
- A load exceeding 3.7kW at a standard voltage of 230V will result in a current above 16A.
- This is the operational limit for the device to function safely and efficiently.
3. Disconnect Excessive Loads
- Identify any appliances or heaters that contribute to the excess load.
- Disconnect any load exceeding the recommended 3.7kW power limit.
- If possible, redistribute the load to balance power consumption across multiple outputs or circuits.
Post-Check Actions
- After adjusting the load, restart the device to check if the error is resolved.
- Monitor the current draw using a clamp meter or similar tool to ensure compliance with the 16A limit during operation.
- If the error persists despite adhering to the recommendations, contact technical support for further assistance.
Additional Recommendations
- For larger setups or high-power requirements, consider upgrading to a more suitable system that can handle higher loads such as eddi+ if the supply is 3-phase.
- Regularly inspect all connected appliances and ensure they are functioning correctly, as faulty devices may draw excessive current.
