Kostal Enector

← Chargers Sponsor token required

The wallbox must be configured as satellite/slave using the DIP switches on the mainboard and Modbus RTU must be enabled (bank S1: 4=ON, 5=ON, 7=OFF). No external meter should be connected directly to the wallbox, as all functions are controlled directly by evcc. For Kostal systems with Smart Energy Meter (KSEM), the additional activation code (Solar Pure Mode / Solar Plus Mode) for the KSEM is not required.

Supported features

mA regulation: Finer charging current regulation (mA instead of A) for better solar surplus use.
1P/3P: Automatic phase switching. Useful for solar surplus charging.
Built-in meter: Support for an integrated meter. Availability may vary between models.
