FAQ

Common questions

What problem does the DCC-12 solve?

It helps panel-constrained homes add a large load, commonly EV charging, by automatically shedding or limiting that load when the panel is near capacity.

Is a load controller cheaper than a panel upgrade?

Often it can be, but the installed price depends on local code, electrician familiarity, wiring distance, and whether the utility or inspector accepts the approach.

Will it interrupt EV charging?

Yes, that is the point. If the monitored load threshold is reached, the controller can pause charging until capacity is available again.

What should I confirm before choosing it?

Confirm charger compatibility, amperage, inspection acceptance, enclosure location, and whether the household can tolerate occasional charging interruptions.
