74- simultaneously on the car side, not one after another.
75- To achieve this, the primary contactor either switches all phases or, in addition to the neutral line
76- and one phase, also switches the control path from the secondary contactor.
77- From the software perspective, the secondary contactor is switched on first, but switched off last.
78- In contrast to the primary contactor: this one is switched on last, but switched off first.
79- This ensures - in combination with the physical setup - a homogeneous view of the grid to
80- the car. Thus the charger appears to be a single-phase only or a three-phase charger.
