Load Guard
A smart current sensor allowing you to
charge your EV safely and efficiently.
Listens to the user,
talks to the grid
The Load Guard is a sensor installed in the building‘s
electrical cabinet where it measures the electrical
currents and sends real-time data to your charging
station. INCH charging stations respond to the
received data by adjusting the charging power to
keep the total load of the installation below its
installation rated value, or by increasing it to utilize
the remaining available power for faster charging.
Designed for the
piece of mind
Monitoring the building’s current is important for
situations where the charging station doesn’t
have its own power supply. In such a scenario, the
Load Guard allows the charging station to adjust
it’s power consumption dynamically, adapting to
the power consumption of other appliances
in the building.

Supported integrations
Safe and efficient
home charging
Load Guard helps prevent installation overloads
by lowering charging power when household
consumption peaks. By shifting charging times
to lower household consumption periods, INCH
chargers reduce the charging cost.
Utilize surplus
energy for faster
EV charging
As Load Guard measures electric current in both
directions, the charger can calculate surplus energy
for example from renewable energy sources, such as
photovoltaics. Green energy can be used for faster
and cheaper charging, thanks to algorithms in INCH
charging stations.
Web interface for
remote access and
maintenance
Monitor and manage charging through the dedicated
web interface either from a phone or computer. The
web app works on any device in the same network
and gives the user an in-depth insight into charging
energy consumption.
Interactive charging
responds to the grid
conditions
Run clusters of charging stations with a peace in mind. Utilising
dynamic power management technology and AI, a group of
chargers can balance the available charging power between
chargers, autonomously responding to building power
consumption changes and grid conditions.
