Foreword Dear Customer! With the BRUSA NLG6 charger, you have purchased a versatile high-performance product. The device is a power electronics product which uses dangerous voltages and currents, thus special expertise with respect to handling and operation of such systems is required! Read this manual –...
Labelling information, traceability and documentation of devices and components BRUSA Elektronik AG ensures a complete quality proof for all raw materials, manufacturing processes and products by means of suitable labelling and traceability measures. Traceability shall be organised in such a way that in the event of a defect the following characteristics can be identified at any time: ...
Safety and warning instructions In this chapter, you will find safety instructions applying to this device. These instructions refer to the assembly, start-up and the running operation in the vehicle. Always read and observe these instructions in order to protect people's safety and lives and to avoid damage to the device! Symbols and their meaning Throughout this manual, certain specific symbols are used.
Safety instructions and danger levels DANGER This instruction warns about severe irreversible risks of personal injury with possibly fatal consequences. Avoid this risk by adhering to these instructions! WARNING This instruction warns about the risk of severe but reversible injury! Avoid this risk by adhering to these instructions! CAUTION This instruction warns about a minor risk of injury!
Generally applicable safety measures The following safety measures have been developed based on the knowledge of the manufacturer. They are incomplete as they can be supplemented by local and/or country-specific safety instructions and guidelines for accident prevention. The system integrator and/or distributor of the device must therefore supplement the present general safety instructions with country-specific and local guidelines.

Therefore, always unwind the cable drum completely! INSTRUCTION The device is never to be opened! The opening of the device (sealed housing) directly leads to the forfeiture of any liability by BRUSA Elektronik AG! Refer to chapter 11 Liability INFORMATION When working on a HV system, the following 5 safety rules have to be strictly adhered to: ...
On the charger, each phase (L1, L2, L3, N) is protected by a 40 A fuse in order to protect the device and electric systems from damage due to overcurrent. If one of these fuses is blown, the charger must be returned to BRUSA Elektronik AG! Do not open the device – no user serviceable parts inside. 3.4.4 Overcurrent protection Overcurrent protection is integrated in the charger to avoid overload damage.
3.4.5 Overtemperature protection (derating) INSTRUCTION Continuous operation at the temperature limit will inevitably lead to a higher level of wear of the components! The charger protects itself through temperature dependent derating. If the charger reaches a defined temperature limit, it reduces the power (derating) to protect the charger from damage due to overheating. The power is reduced according to the temperature increase in order to keep the temperature within the target range.
3.4.6 HV Interlock acc. to LV123 The interlock is a protective loop in the vehicle which monitors the drive components. It also allows monitoring of HV side plug connections at the charger. Wiring of the interlock pins does not influence the functionality of the charger, but in order to ensure safety, we strongly recommend that an interlock system is employed! These interlock pins can carry +/-48VDC nominal to Gnd, at 10mA (max.
3.4.7 Proximity Detection acc. to IEC 61851 Proximity defines an additional resistor attached to the connector of the charging cord, which indicates the maximum ampacity of the cord. This resistor is measured by the charger and defines the amount of current that the cord is allowed to conduct.
Requirements on the start-up personnel All courses of action described in this manual may only be carried out by a qualified electrician! Specialist staff are defined as electricians who have had specific professional training, have knowledge and experience in the field of electronics / electric mobility, ...

6.4.1 Voltage-dependent control of 1-phase and 3-phase charging The NLG6 enables 3-phase charging for battery voltage of ≥ 310 V to ≤ 430 V at max. 22kW. Outside this range, single-phase-charging is performed at max. 7kW. A hysteresis is programmed for this switchover threshold defining the following switchover point: If the battery voltage is <...
Charging modes (Mode2 and Mode3 charging) INFORMATION By default, the NLG6 supports Mode2 and Mode3 charging. Mode 2: Alternating current (AC) charging at a local standard socket or CEE socket, by using an In Cable Control Box (ICCB) integrated in the charging cable. The ICCB ensures a correct charging procedure controlled by safety signals and -equipment according to the respective standards.
Dimensions and installation information For the installation of the charger, the following must be adhered to: The charger must be installed at a secure location out of reach of the user of the vehicle. This is to prevent dangers such as accidental touching of HV components or skin burns on the hot housing. ...

7.1.5.2 Pin 2 PROX_D Via input pin 2 PROX_D the proximity resistor of the charger is measured an interpreted. The charger assumes that a 4.7 kΩ resistor is installed in the Charge Coupler in addition to the proximity resistor (see chapter 3.4.7.
Cooling water connections INSTRUCTION When the cooling system is connected, attention must be paid that the cooling water inlet and outlet are connected correctly! Swapping the connections may lead to malfunctions in the cooling systems and consequently to overheating of the device! Cooling water inlet Cooling water outlet (for connection of Normaquick PS3*)
Wakeup mechanism INFORMATION The NLG6 features several WakeUp mechanisms to wake up the device from sleep. The following chapters contain an overview and descriptions of the various WakeUp mechanisms. For a successful WakeUp, AUX voltage must always be between 9 and 16 V. 7.3.1 WakeUp via CAN As soon as there is any communication on the CAN bus, the charger wakes up.
7.3.2 WakeUp via Proximity As soon as a charging cable is connected to the charging socket of the vehicle (Charge Coupler), the charger detects the proximity resistor and wakes up. Also refer to chapter 3.4.7 Proximity Detection acc. to IEC 61851 7.3.3 WakeUp via Pin HW-WakeUp The charger wakes up as soon as voltage at this pin exceeds 4.2 V (edge-controlled event).
Power limitations / Limiting controller INFORMATION To protect the charger and connected peripherals (e.g. HV battery, charging cable, Wallbox) from damage due to overload, several load limits must be considered. The charger continuously monitors whether all operating values are within the permissible range, and reduces charging power if required (derating).
7.4.2 Input power limitation Pndem The charger permanently monitors the charging power and limits it to a max. of 22 kW. In a 3x230V/400V grid, this corresponds to a phase current of 32 A. The maximum mains capacity is country-specific and directly influences the available charging power.

Precharge output capacitor HINWEIS In order to avoid the formation of sparks (and/or damage to the device) when connecting the charger to the battery, the internal capacity of 24.5 uF must always be pre-charged from the battery’s DC-link via a pre-charging resistor! When using a PTC as pre-charging resistor, the latter may heat up in case of multiple subsequent pre- charging attempts.
Warranty and Guarantee The warranty corresponds to the regulations in our currently valid general terms and conditions see under www.brusa.biz/en/support/terms-conditions.html.
