Smart Circuits
The FranklinWH system provides three Smart Circuits which can be controlled with the
FranklinWH App based on their personalized needs. This helps minimize household
expenses while on-grid and saves battery consumption while off-grid.
On-grid
Based on local peak-valley settings and personal habits (such as pumping water into
the swimming pool or charging the EVs), users may set a time plan for economic power
usage through the FranklinWH App. One or two time periods may be set for every 24
hours, to achieve the most economical use of electricity for Smart Circuits.
Off-grid
Users may control the on/off status of Smart Circuits by creating a time plan and
setting a State of Charge (SOC) threshold. Users may set a SOC threshold (between
6 % and 100 %) based on the backup sustainability of the Smart Circuits on the
FranklinWH App, where a lower SOC value means a longer backup period for the
Smart Circuit. When the actual SOC falls below the set threshold, or the time is
outside the time period set in the time plan, the Smart Circuit will be turned OFF.
When the aPower actual SOC rises above the threshold, the aGate will reconnect with
the Smart Circuit.
The Smart Circuits will not be reconnected until the aPower actual SOC is 5 % higher
than the SOC threshold. For example, if the SOC threshold is set to 25 %, regular
backup loads will be connected when the SOC reaches 25 %, but the Smart Circuits
will not be reconnected until the SOC reaches 30 %.
Manual Control
Users may control the on/off status of the Smart Circuits through the FranklinWH
App. The manual control of the Smart Circuits on/off status has higher operation
priority, so that the current time schedule can be overridden, disabled, and reactivated
in the next time period.
The Smart Circuits Module can remotely control the on/off status of three Smart
Circuits, which may be set and controlled separately. Smart Circuit 1 and Smart Circuit
2 may be set flexibly based on user needs and the configuration on the FranklinWH
App, choosing two 1-pole breakers or one 2-pole breaker, while Smart Circuit 3 must
work with one 2-pole breaker. Smart Circuit 3 is only used for 240V loads without
neutral wire. No device requiring a neutral wire should be connected to Smart Circuit
3.
