6.1.5.￿Electric￿Vehicle￿Supply￿Equipment
The￿EVSE￿establishes￿the￿connection￿to￿the￿AC￿voltage￿network￿and￿serves￿for￿the￿fulfilment￿of
requirements￿for￿electrical￿safety￿when￿charging￿the￿vehicle.￿Communication￿to￿the￿vehicle￿can￿also￿be
set￿up￿via￿the￿so-called￿pilot￿line.￿As￿a￿result,￿it￿is￿possible￿to￿safely￿start￿the￿charging￿procedure￿and
exchange￿the￿charging￿parameters￿(e.g.￿maximum￿current￿level)￿between￿vehicle￿and￿EVSE.￿The￿EVSE
can￿either￿be￿integrated￿in￿the￿charging￿cable￿(mobile￿solution)￿or￿be￿an￿element￿of￿a￿fixed￿charging
station￿(also￿called￿"wallbox").
In￿both￿cases￿the￿EVSE￿contains￿the￿following￿subcomponents:
• Earth￿leakage￿circuit￿breaker￿(FI)
• Display￿whether￿the￿AC￿voltage￿network￿is￿connected￿and￿available
• Electronic￿disconnect￿switch￿for￿phase￿(L1)￿and￿neutral￿conductor￿(N)
• Electronic￿switching￿for￿generating￿the￿pilot￿signal
• Continuous￿protective￿earth￿(PE).
Mobile￿solution
The￿version￿integrated￿in￿the￿charging￿cable￿is￿also￿called￿"In-Cable￿box"￿and￿is￿designed￿for
mobile￿use.￿The￿volume￿and￿weight￿of￿this￿solution￿is￿low￿and￿the￿charging￿and￿EVSE￿can￿be￿easily
transported￿in￿the￿vehicle.
