ELECTRIC OPERATION AND CHARGING
401
NOTE
•
If the weather is very hot or very cold,
some of the charging current is used to
heat/cool the hybrid battery and the
passenger compartment, which results
in a longer charging time.
•
The charging time is extended if pre-
conditioning has been selected. The
time required depends mainly on the
outside temperature.
Fuse
Normally several 230 V consumers are
included in a fuse circuit, so additional con-
sumers (e.g. lighting, vacuum cleaner, electric
drill, etc.) can be on the same fuse.
Example 1
3
If the car is connected to a 230 V10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 16 A, then the car
will attempt to draw 16 A from the 230 V
mains power circuit - after a while the overloa-
ded 10 A fuse for the socket will be tripped
and battery charging stopped.
In which case, reset the fuse for the socket
and select a lower charging current on the
control unit.
Example 2
3
If the car is connected to a 230 V10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 10 A, then the car
will draw 10 A from the 230 V mains power
circuit. If additional consumers are connected
to the same socket (or another socket in the
same fuse circuit) then there is a risk that the
fuse for the socket/fuse socket will be overloa-
ded and triggered, at which point battery
charging is stopped.
In such cases, reset the fuse for the socket/
fuse circuit and select a lower charging cur-
rent on the control unit - or disconnect other
consumers from the socket/fuse circuit.
Example 3
3
If the car is connected to a 230 V10 A socket
and the control unit is set at 6 A, then the car
will only draw 6 A from the 230 V mains
power circuit. Battery charging will of course
take longer, but then additional consumers
can be connected at the same time to the
same socket/fuse circuit as long as the total
load does not exceed the capacity of the
socket/fuse circuit.
