Victron EV Charging Station Setup in USA
I wanted to share my experience with setting up the EVCS in the United States. My system includes two Multiplus II’s (48v/3000VA) configured for 240v, a Cerbo GX, a Victron MPPT 450/100, and four 100AH SOK 48v batteries. First off, I was unable to get the EVCS to function with single phase. I’m guessing that single phase only works in Europe, where 230v is available in single phase. What worked for me was connecting one hotwire to L1 and one hotwire to Neutral providing 240v across L1 and Neutral connections.
After many reboots, firmware upgrades, and resets without getting any power out of the EVCS, I decided to do some wire tracing. What I found was a connector hiding under the circuit board that was connected to nothing. In the photo you can see the connector and where it plugs into the circuit board. After plugging the connector in, everything worked fine. I have to give a shout-out to NAZ Solar (retailer for the EVCS) for helping me troubleshoot this issue.
