Page 12: Testing Charging Stations
8. Testing Charging Stations 8-1.Purpose of the Test Adapter The Test Adapter serves two main purposes. 1-simulate connection of an electrical vehicle to the tested charging station (the test adapter simulates electrical vehicle and charging cable), connection of the 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(NC,13A,20A,32Aand63A) - Page 13 Please consult the manufacturer's recommendation and national standards that are associated IEC/HD60364-6 for initial test or IEC/HD 60364-7-722. The required tests are: • Visual inspection • Continuity of protective conductors and protective bonding • Insulation resistances • Loop/Line impedance • RCD test •...

Page 14: 8-2.Connection Of The Test Adapter To Charging Station
8-2.Connection of the Test Adapter to Charging Station • TYPE 2 test cable, designed for type 2 charging stations featuring a panel mount with socket outlet or a fixed cable with a vehicle connector. Instructions for connecting the test adapter to the charging station: •... - Page 15 connected to phase or if there is an interruption in the PE connection, the situation can become hazardous. • Test procedure: • Firmly connect the adapter to the charging station.. • Then touch the probe with a bare finger. • If the light indicator illuminates, it indicates the presence of dangerous voltage at the PE conductor.
- Page 16 8-3-2.Proximity Pilot (PP) State (Cable Simulation) • With the PP State rotary switch various current capabilities of the charging cable can be simulated when the test adapter is connected to the charging station. • By connecting various resistances between the PP and PE conductors, different current capabilities are simulated.
