Seeking Feedback - How Interested Would You Be In Roadtesting an EV Charger Checker Tool Kit?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

imageGiven the interest and growth of electric vehicles (EVs), it was just a matter of time for one of our suppliers to begin offering tool kits specifically for EVs. One of our suppliers, Megger, is interested in having the element14 Community roadtest this kit. This product is designed to check the safety and operation of EV charger points.

I'd like to get your thoughts about this tool kit. If you have the time, please vote in the poll below.

Let me tell you a few things about this tool:

The new EVCC300 introduces a new and convenient way of checking electric vehicle (EV) charge points. A simple all in one concept provides an easy to use solution to check both the safety and operation of mode 2 and single phase mode 3 (level 1 and two phase level 2) EV chargers. The instrument is ideal for those wishing to perform a fault finding check on an EV charger following manufacture or repair, or just part of a maintenance schedule/inspection.

Here are some features:

  • Checks mode 2 and single-phase mode 3 (level 1 and two phase level 2) chargers
  • Checks chargers with SAE J1772 Type 1 and Type 2 connectors
  • Performs four EV charger safety checks
  • Performs four EV charger operation checks
  • Checks to see if nuisance tripping or RCD/GFCI is likely to occur
  • Reads control pilot state response from EV Charger to IEC61852-1

Here are some technical documents:

    Our EV charger has stopped working this week (well started to be intermittent, but when you rely on it, thats as good as it having gone wrong), but I imagine it'll be long gone before this became a road…

    If rscasny added a small EV and a charger for the house I'm sure many of us would like to roadtest this charger checker. Just saying ........

    I would love to EXCEPT I have no place to use the tester.

    I have a PHEV, a level 2 charger in my garage, and 8.6 kW of solar modules on my roof, so I am interested in this test instrument.  However, I am a little concerned about forcing a GFCI tripping speed test on my inverter/charger. The solar equipment is monitored by the manufacturer so I would want to know that I could run the tests and reset the system without flagging an issue with my installer/manufacturer. If those details can be worked out, I'd be game to road test this tool.

    I've seen people with cars like the citron ami and renault twizy (which charge from a standard 3-pin UK plug), charging at public ev chargers using an adapter to go from type 2 to 3-pin socket, so they can then plug the supplied lead in!
    I have a feeling that I heard the ami comes with a euro plug for charging, and they supply the type 2 to euro socket adapter for UK customers, but only vaguely remember that discussion, so might have remembered wrong.

    My first electric motorbike (a Zero FXS) charged from a UK 13A plug (at about 1.8kW I think). I just came with a fairly chunky IEC C13 cable. My current one (a Zero SR/F) uses a CCS connector - although frustratingly is wire to draw 3kW from two separate phases. In the UK drawing 6kW from one would work fine with most home single-phase EVSEs.
