Two chargers with power sharing single line diagram
A 100A EV load centre feeds two chargers that share a group current limit. Use this for two chargers at one home or small site where the feeder cannot carry both at full output. The chargers share a group current limit, so together they never draw more than the feeder allows.

What the reviewer checks on this drawing
The reviewer looks for the group limit (80A on the 100A feeder), where that setting is recorded, and the label on the load centre.

Notes on the sheet
- Chargers configured for power sharing with a combined limit of 80A (80% of the 100A feeder).
- Record the group limit setting on the commissioning sheet and label the load centre.
