TESTING CHARGING STATIONS

�WARNING
• Before starting tests, familiarize yourself with the following standards: IEC/EN 61851-1, "Electric vehicle
conductive charging system - Part 1: General requirements", IEC/HD 60364-7-722 "Low-voltage electrical
installations - Part 7-722: Requirements for special installations or locations - Supplies for electric vehicles"
and the documentation of the charging station itself.
• Before commencing tests, you are strongly advised to refer to the local regulations and standards for safety
at work regulations and any relevant publications from the Health and Safety Executive.
• Tests should only be performed by skilled persons, competent in verification and the types of tests suitable
for installations and charging stations.
• It is potentially hazardous for both the user and the DUT (Device Under Test) if the wrong types of tests are
undertaken or if testing is carried out in an incorrect sequence.
• It is important that you fully understand the various tests required and how they should be performed.
• The charging station must pass the PE Pre-Test prior to any other test. If this test fails, further testing must
be stopped and faults must be removed. In case of error, all metal parts of the charging station including
output terminals and PE may carry hazard voltage. In this case, there is a high risk of electric shock to the
operator and other persons nearby.
Purpose of the EVA-500-D/-CH/-UK/-F Test Adapter
There are two main purposes of the EV-500 Test Adapter Series:
1. To simulate connection of an electrical vehicle to the tested charging station (the test adapter simulates
electrical vehicle and charging cable). Connection of the EVA-500 test adapter to a charging station triggers
the charging process in the charging station (CP switch at the adapter shall be in appropriate mode).
Various cable charging capabilities can be simulated (open, 13 A, 20 A, 32 A and 63 A) as well as all possible
electrical vehicle modes (A, B, C
2. To provide easy access to charging terminals L1, L2, L3, N, PE and to CP signal terminals to which additional
measuring equipment can be connected for further testing. Charging stations should be tested after
installation and repeated periodically.
