The EV-Test100 was specially developed as an accessory for testing e-charging stations. It can be used to simulate charge states and to check the effectiveness of protective measures at type 3 e-charging stations with a type 2 connector in conjunction with the HTI MacroEVTest.
HTI EV-TEST100 Features
- Use for EVSE stations with charging modes 2 and 3
- Test cable with Type 2 connectors (IEC 62196-2)
- Vehicle simulation via Control Pilot system (CP state)
- Cable current capacity simulation via Proximity Pilot system (PP state)
- Fault PE simulation condition
- Fault condition simulation on the Control Pilot (Fault E)
- Efficiency check of internal station energy meter (LOAD section)
- LED indications for system phase detection
- Terminals for connection to HT tester
- Protection fuse on LOAD section
- Test in compliance with IEC/EN61851-1 and IEC/EN60364-7-722 guidelines
Measurement functions
- Universal 4mm sockets for connection to a 1- or 3-phase installation tester using test leads (banana plugs)
- Separate phase display with three LEDs for easy voltage checking
- Proximity Pilot (PP) rotary switch for simulating different current carrying capacities of charging cables
- Control Pilot (CP) rotary switch for simulating the electrical vehicle status A, B, C D
- Rotary switch error to simulate a short circuit between CP and PE (state E = error)
- Simulation of PE fault (ground fault)
- Connection for the CP signal output to check communication between the adapter (= simulated electric vehicle) and the charging station
- Type 2 plug for connection to the charging station even with a permanently connected charging cable
- Vehicle simulation (CP): The various vehicle states A to D can be simulated using a rotary switch (according to IEC 61851)
- Cable simulation (PP): The various codings for charging cables with 13, 20, 32 and 63 A as well as “no cable connected” can be simulated using a rotary switch
- Error simulation: Simulation of a short circuit between CP and PE using a rotary switch (state E = error)
- Display of phase voltages via LEDs
- Testing of e-charging stations even with a permanent
- connected charging cable
- For vehicle simulation (CP):
According to IEC 61851, the states A, B, C, D and E can be simulated. The various vehicle states are set using the rotary switch.
State A: no vehicle connected
Condition B: Vehicle connected but not ready for charging
Condition C: Vehicle connected and ready for charging, ventilation of the charging area not required
Condition D: Vehicle connected and ready for charging, ventilation of the charging area required
State E: Error: Short circuit CP-PE via internal diode
For cable simulation (PP):
The different coding for charging cables with 13, 20, 32 and 63 A can be simulated. It is also possible to simulate the -no cable- state. The different charging cables are simulated by switching different resistors between PP and PE using the rotary switch. According to IEC 61851, the following values are possible:
No cable: ∞ Ohm
13 A cable: 1.5 k Ohm
20 A cable: 680 Ohm
32 A cable: 220 Ohm
63 A cable. 100 ohms
