Testing Charging Stations
To prevent possible electric shock, re, or personal injury:
• Before starting tests, the operator must be familiar with the
following standards: IEC/EN 61851-1, "Electric vehicle conductive
charging system - Part 1: General requirements", IEC/HD 60364-7722 “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 starting any tests, refer to the local regulations and
standards for: safety at work and any relevant publications from
the Health and Safety Executive.
• Only skilled persons, competent in verication and the types of tests
suitable for installations and charging stations, should do the tests.
• If the wrong types of tests are done or if testing is done in an
incorrect sequence then a potentially hazardous situation can
occur for both the operator and the DUT (Device Under Test).
• The operator must fully understand the various tests required and
how they should be done.
• The charging station must pass the Protective Earth (Ground) PE
Pre-Test prior to the operator touching exposed metal surfaces or
any other test. If the PE Pre-Test fails, stop further testing. Resolve
any faults before proceeding. In case of error, all metal parts of
the charging station including output terminals and PE can have
hazardous voltage. In this case, there is a high risk of electric
shock to the operator and other persons nearby.
• The PE Pre-Test detects the presence of hazardous voltage on
Protective Earth but may not detect an open Protective Earth.
WX Warning
Purpose of the Product
These are the main functions of the Product:
• To simulate connection of an electrical vehicle to the tested charging
station (the test adapter simulates electrical vehicle and charging
cable). Connection of the Product to a charging station triggers the
charging process in the charging station (CP switch at the adapter
5
shall be in appropriate state). Various cable charging capabilities can
be simulated (open, 13 A, 20 A, 32 A and 63 A) as well as all possible
electrical vehicle state (state A, B, C , D ).
• To provide easy access to charging terminals L1, L2, L3, N, PE and
to CP signal terminals to conduct safety and functional testing and
connect additional measuring equipment. Charging stations should be
tested after installation and tests repeated periodically.
Please refer to the manufacturer’s recommendation and national standards
which are linked to IEC/HD 60364-6 for initial test or IEC/HD 60364-7-722.
Required tests are:
• Visual inspection
• Continuity of protective conductors and protective bonding
(earth bond / PE)
• Insulation resistances
• Loop / line impedance
• RCD trip test
• Function tests (including but not limited to):
- Vehicle state A, B, C, D,
- Error handling (error state “E”, PE Error state "F" (Earth Fault), …)
- Communication (PWM signal)
- Mechanical locking of EV plug at the charging station
- Rotary eld / phase sequence of output voltage
- Other tests

PE Pre-Test
Figure 9. PE pretest
The PE Pre-Test is a safety feature of the Product. The PE Pre-Test allows
the operator to test the PE conductor for possible presence of dangerous
voltage against earth.
In normal circumstances, the PE conductor is connected to earth and
therefore has no voltage against earth. However, if the PE conductor is not
connected to earth (for example, connected to phase by mistake or PE is
interrupted) the situation may be hazardous.
Operator skin contact is required on the PE PRE-TEST touch sensor (do
not wear gloves) as well as a suitable operator reference to a known earth
ground (through the operator’s shoes or other clothing). Do not touch any
metal parts of the charging station while performing this test. In case of
improper connection to earth (for example, isolated placement of your body)
this indication may be not reliable.
Test procedure:
1. Connect the test adapter to the charging station.
2. Touch the touch sensor with a bare nger. If PE warning indicator (item
, Figure 2) illuminates, then dangerous voltage is present at PE
2
conductor and metal parts of the charging station. Stop further testing
immediately and check for a possible wiring fault of the tested PE
conductor.
In case of this error, PE terminal carries hazardous voltage. There is a
W
high risk of electric shock to the operator and other persons nearby!
Possible errors are:
• PE interrupted / not connected
• PE carries voltage (for example, connected to phase)
WX Warning
• The PE Pre-Test detects the presence of hazardous voltage on
Protective Earth but may not detect an open Protective Earth.

Proximity Pilot (PP) State (Cable Simulation)
To simulate various current capabilities of the charging cable, connect the
test adapter to the charging station and set the PP State rotary switch (item
, Figure 2). The adapter simulates the current capabilities with dierent
1
resistances connected between PP and PE conductors. See Table 2 for the
correlation between resistance and current capability of the charging cable.
If the charging station has a xed cable with vehicle connector then
this setting of PP is not used in all.

Initiating a charging cycle:
1. Turn CP switch to A position and connect the adapter cable to the
charging station.
2. Turn CP switch to B position and wait 3 to 5 seconds – in commercial
stations this may initiate a station to ask for payment information
3. Turn CP switch to either C or D position depending on the type of a car
you wish to simulate (respectively with or without indoor charging area
ventilation requirement) to start the charging cycle.
If the station does not begin the charging cycle, turn the CP switch to
position A. Then turn the CP switch to position B and wait 3 to
5 seconds. Then turn the CP switch to position C or D. Some
EV charging stations require a time delay to establish a proper
connection when CP State B is selected.
The red LED indicates that the charging station opened for the charging
cycle and voltage is present at the adapter terminals.
Verication of CP signal and the charging station’s preset maximum
charging current
Control Pilot function uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM):
The purpose of this CP function is communication between a charging
station and a vehicle. The duty cycle of the PWM Pulse Width Modulation
signal denes the maximum available charging current.
For details of communication protocol please refer to IEC/EN 61851-1 and
the documentation of the manufacturer of the charging station.
CP output terminals are connected to CP and PE conductors of the charging
station under test via the test cable. The green socket is connected to PE.
These outputs are for connection of a meter with a duty cycle function or an
oscilloscope to check the waveform and amplitude of the CP signal.
Verication of the maximum charging current with a multimeter or
oscilloscope
Set the maximum charging current of the charging station using the
internal selection of the charging station itself (please follow therefore the
documentation of the manufacturer of the charging station). The value of
the maximum charging station current should not exceed the max current
allowed by the gauge of the charging cable, the gauge of the installed
electrical wires and breaker according to the National Electrical Code.
Note
Testing maximum charging current:
1. Connect adapter to the charging station and start a charging process
by selecting either state C or D using rotary switch, depending on the
type of simulated car, to start the charging cycle.
2. Connect multimeter or oscilloscope set to Duty Cycle to the Control
Pilot (CP) terminals located on the top of the adapter. See Figure 3,
use items
the Green (PE) output of the CP terminal.
3. Read the duty cycle value and translate to maximum charging current using the below formulas or a quick reference table (based on
IEC/EN 61851-1 standard).
