Inside load balancing menu user can lower or increase current up to the value which was set by the installer in Installer menu. <br>
 +
For example: you set 32 A in Installer menu option '''Max power from grid''', so in user menu option '''Load balancing''' you will be able to set limitation from 6 A to 32 A.

''By default load balancing is set to 10 A, user can increase this value when he increases Max power from grid option in Installer menu.''

After that it is a must to select days of week, when this graph should be active. '''If no days will be selected, Scheduler will not be activated.

The ‘Repeat schedule‘ function repeats every week on the selected days.
'''<br>
+
When the ‘Repeat schedule‘ function is disabled, the selected charging schedule will be set only for the week ahead and will stop after the last set day. In this case, the ‘Enable schedule charging‘ function will be automatically disabled. If the ‘Start time‘ is set in the past, the schedule will be active on the next selected day of the week. For example, if the current time is 10 AM on Friday, but the ‘Start time‘ is scheduled for 9 AM on Friday, it will only be active on the following Friday at 9 AM.<br>

It is important to optimize created schedules.<br>
+
The ‘Enable schedule charging‘ function will be disabled at midnight after the end of a schedule.
Make sure that graphs are not overlapping. If Peak hours are set during Scheduled charging hours, then APP prioritizes Peak hours and EV will not be charged.
+
It is important to optimize the active schedules and ensure that they do not overlap. '''Charger will not allow to save active overlapping schedules.''' However, when schedules are disabled, it can be saved.<br>

 +
If peak hours are set for one time and scheduled charging hours are set later on the same day, there is a contradiction between these two conditions, and the EV will not be charged during the period between them. For example, if peak hours are set from 2 PM to 3 PM and regular scheduled charging hours are set from 5 PM to 7 PM, the EV will be charged only from 5 PM to 7 PM.

= Randomized delay =
Randomized delay function - protection for the grid overloading. If this function is turned on, up to 10 minutes of delay will be applied in the following cases:
+
The randomized delay function provides an additional layer of protection against grid overloading. In the following cases, a random delay of up to 10 minutes will be applied:
   −
* ''Vehicle is connected and trying to initiate charging process for the first time;''
+
* ''When a vehicle is connected and attempting to initiate the charging process for the first time.''
* ''Every time at the beginning of scheduled charging;''
+
* ''At the beginning and end of each scheduled charging session.''
 
* ''After TeltoCharge has been restarted, rebooted, or turned off.''
 
* ''After TeltoCharge has been restarted, rebooted, or turned off.''
    +
Although this feature is enabled, it can be manually interrupted by swiping the App slider or using an NFC card.<br>
 +
 +
Using the Randomized delay function along with scheduled charging hours, the EV will only begin charging after waiting for the scheduled time and adding a randomized delay of up to 10 minutes. Similarly, a randomized delay will be applied to the scheduled end of charging.<br>
 +
 +
If the EV charging process is interrupted (e. g. temporary power outage), the randomized delay will still be in effect when the power is restored, further delaying the start of charging.<br>

When OCPP is turned on, this feature will not work.

When OCPP is turned on, the Randomized delay functionality will not be active.
