Hey guys.
I have 2 tesla powerwall2, in backup mode it charges from the grid at ~1.7kw per pw, so 3.4kw for the 2.
In ToU setting it charges from the grid at about 6.4kw for the 2 powerwalls.
In New Zealand (and australia I believe and perhaps the UK) the max feed in for residential is 63A on single phase, if you have 3 phase, its 3 x 63A feeds; your power wall is connected to a single phase.
If I plugin my Model X to charge, its 7.5kw + powerwalls 6.5kw thats 14kw; if my spa pool happens to turn on (does so every 2-3 hrs to keep it warm) thats another 2kw of power and then say the oven or stove ~3kw.
The load all added up on ToU setting will take me over 16kw which is the max feed in from the grid; does the Tesla PW monitor the load usage and lower its charging rates in this situation, or is it going to pop the fuse in the street?
Look forward to hearing from you
Barry
