As an expert in the charging pile industry, EVDANCE has rich experience in the development and manufacturing of intelligent EV charging solutions. This is where we turn our engineering insights into knowledge and share them with the global EV community.
Same 11 kW ceiling, different home: the ACS1605PE plugs into a CEE socket and travels, while an 11 kW wallbox is hardwired to one wall. Here is how to choose.
Where a small business already has a 16 A CEE socket, the ACS1605PE adds 11 kW staff charging with no install — and no app, accounts or access control.
The ACS1605PE is listed with one cable, 7.6 m. Whether it is enough depends on where your three-phase CEE socket sits — measure the real route from that socket, not from the house.
On a single-phase supply the ACS1605PE’s 11 kW is not available, and its single-phase behaviour is not published. What one phase can carry, what the plug tells you, and your options.
Inspect the CEE joint as a pair: the ACS1605PE’s plug and the fixed socket it mates with. The visual checks, the stop signs, and who assesses each half when something fails.
A plug-in hybrid takes only what its onboard charger accepts — from the three-phase ACS1605PE, often one phase’s share, about 3.7 kW. When the 11 kW unit is still the right buy.
First use of the ACS1605PE is a plug-in sequence: box check against the manual’s list, the right 16A CEE socket, and a rehearsed 7.6 m cable route.
A workshop can charge customers’ cars on the ACS1605PE at up to 11 kW — the car sets the rate, the session goes on the job card, handover is agreed first.
16A is per phase, 230/400V is one three-phase supply measured two ways, and Type 2 is the car end — the ACS1605PE spec sheet decoded, missing lines included.
Winter charging in an unheated barn or workshop is normal use for the ACS1605PE — what changes is damp and handling, not the electrics.
