We recommend the following test instru-
ments per EN 61557/VDE 0413 for testing
charging cables with the PROFITEST EMOBILITY
test adapter:
• PROFITEST MXTRA
• PROFITEST MTECH+
• PROFITEST PRIME
• SECUTEST PRO
Special test sequences for use with the test
adapter are currently being prepared for the
test instruments listed above.
Testing of Mode 2 and 3 Charging Cables with the
Test Adapter by Simulating Faults
The following faults can be simulated for
mains power supply to a mode 2 charging
cable:
• Wire reversals
• Failure of individual conductors
(undervoltage detection)
• Interference voltage on the protective
conductor by connecting the phase con-
ductor to the protective conductor
(PE-U
EXT
switch setting)
The evaluation of the test object’s reaction to
each respective fault is strictly visual:
• ICCB active or inactive
(indicator lamp on the ICCB)
• Fault indication by means of LEDs on the
test adapter
Attention!
!
In any case, comply with the manu-
facturer’s recommendations con-
cerning tests to be conducted in
accordance with DGUV rule 3.
Testing of Mode 2 and 3 Charging Cables with the
Test Adapter by Simulating Faults and Measuring
Protective Conductor and Insulation Resistance,
as well as Tripping Current and Time to Trip, using
the Respective Test Instrument
Refer to the operating instructions for the
respective test instrument concerning the
test sequence.
Measuring Protective Conductor Current
Protective conductor current or bias current
may result in premature tripping of RCDs
used in ICCBs.
For this reason, the protective conductor is
led out of the housing as a loop between
surface mount sockets 4 and 6. This makes
it possible to measure any protective con-
ductor current with the help of a current
clamp transformer.
