EVCA210/EVCA210-UK
Electric vehicle charge-point adaptor
DESCRIPTION
The Megger EVCA210/EVCA210-UK are compact, simple
to use adapters designed to perform all the functions
required by the electrical contractor to fully test Mode 3
AC Electric Vehicle Charge-points. Specially designed to
comply with UK, European and other International wiring
regulations and standards, the EVCA210/EVCA210-UK may
be used on all single and three phase electric vehicle charge
points, with appropriate connectors. They are designed
to test the function and safety of a charging point. The
adapters allow you to conduct tests using appropriate single
or multifunction test instruments on EV charging points
in accordance with IEC/EN 61851-1 and IEC/HD 60364-7-
722. Charging points should be tested as part of the initial
installation and repeated periodically.
The Megger EVCA210/EVCA210-UK test adaptors are
designed to simulate the connection of an electrical vehicle
to the charging point under test. Connection of the adapter
enables the operator to trigger the charging process by
selecting the appropriate Proximity Pilot (PP) and Control
Pilot (CP) states.

Test instruments can be connected using either the front
mounted mains socket or the 4mm connection ports L1, L2,
L3, N, PE. 2 additional CP signal terminals give the operator
the ability to measure the CP signal using an oscilloscope.
In addition, the adapters have a manual PE Pre-Test feature
that allows the user to test for dangerous voltages present
on the PE, prior to any other testing of the charge point. If
this test fails, testing must cease as potentially dangerous
voltages may be present on the PE and faults must be
investigated and rectified before continuing. The adapters
also integrate two further manual tests: CP Error – simulates
an error on the control pilot circuit; and a PE Error – where a
disconnection of the PE circuit is produced. Both test ensure
correct disconnection of the output of the charge point.
Before carrying out testing with this adaptor, it is
recommended that the user familiarize themselves with the
relevant standards:
