How to wire the modules

Two scenarios depending on the circuit power.

Direct wiring

Circuit ≤ 16A (3680W)

Circuit breaker
10A / 16A depending on circuit
Live + Neutral

Appliance
Heater, AC, water heater ≤ 3680W

The simplest and most common wiring. The module sits between the breaker and the appliance. Suitable for most residential circuits.

Wiring with contactor

Circuit > 16A (3680W)

Circuit breaker
20A / 32A depending on circuit
Power
Power contactor
20A, 25A or 40A depending on load

Control

💧
High-power appliance
Three-phase water heater, heat pump, oven > 3680W

Required for any circuit exceeding 16A / 3680W. The Powtiva module controls the contactor coil, which handles the power current.

When to use a power contactor?

The Powtiva load shedding module is limited to 16A (3680W at 230V). A power contactor is essential for higher-power appliances.

  • Circuit ≤ 16A (3680W): direct wiring, no contactor needed
  • Circuit > 16A (3680W): contactor required (e.g. Legrand 412501, Hager ESC225, Schneider CT 25A)
  • Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with applicable standards
