Introduction 1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Megger EVCA210 (Electric Vehicle Charge-point Adaptor). For your own safety and to get the maximum benefit from your instrument, please ensure that you read and understand the following safety warnings and instructions before using the instrument.
Safety Warnings 2. Safety Warnings G Safety Warnings and Precautions must be read and understood before the instrument is used. They must be observed during use. THE INSTRUMENT MUST BE USED ONLY BY SUITABLY TRAINED AND COMPETENT PERSONS.
General Description Installation category definitions CAT IV Measurement category IV: Equipment connected between the origin of the low-voltage mains supply outside the building and the consumer unit. CAT III Measurement category III: Equipment connected between the consumer unit and the electrical outlets. CAT II Measurement category II: Equipment connected between the electrical outlets and the user’s equipment.
General Description Required electrical tests are as follows: 1. Visual Inspection 2. Continuity of protective conductors and bonding 3. Insulation resistances 4. Earth loop impedance 5. RCD operation 6. Phase sequence (on 3-phase systems) Required function tests to include: 1. Error handling (Earth fault) 2. Communication 3. Vehicle state 4. Mechanical locking of plug 5.
General operating instructions 4. General operating instructions 1. Type 2 plug cable entry 2. CP Error “E” button 3. PE Error (Earth fault) button 4. PE Pre-Test touch pad and PE Pre-Test warning LED 5. PP State rotary selector switch 6. CP Signal output terminals (4 mm) 7. Measuring terminals PE, N, L1, L2, L3 (4 mm) 8. Phase indicator LEDs for L1, L2, L3 terminals 9. CP State rotary selector switch 10.
Connecting the EVCA210 test adaptor to the charging Point The following charging capabilities can be simulated: N/C (No Connection), 13 A, 20 A, 32 A and 63 A, as well as all the possible electrical vehicle modes A, B, C (un-vented) and D (vented), via the selection switches. Also provided are 4 mm connection ports L1, L2, L3, N, PE and CP signal terminals to which appropriate measuring equipment can be connected for further testing.
Testing a Charging Point 6. Testing a Charging Point The PE Pre-Test is an integral safety feature of the EVCA210 adaptor. It allows the operator to test the PE conductor for possible presence of a dangerous voltage, prior to testing the charge point. Under normal conditions, the PE conductor is connected to earth and therefore no hazardous voltage should be present. Should a fault condition occur e.g.
Proximity Pilot – PP-Status 8. Proximity Pilot – PP-Status With the EVCA210 adaptor connected to the charging point, use the PP State rotary switch to simulate any of the listed current capabilities of a charging cable. Selection of cable current capability NC (No Cable) 13 A 20 A 32 A 63 A Note: The EVCA210 does load the circuit but will not draw significant current for this measurement. 9.
PE Error - Earth Fault simulation 10. PE Error - Earth Fault simulation With the CP state set to either C or D (EV connected and ready to charge) and the PP state set to any setting except NC, by pressing the PE Error button, a disconnection of the PE conductor is simulated. The pending charging process should stop immediately and new charging processes are prevented. 11. Phase indicators There are three LED lamps (L1, L2 and L3), one for each phase.
Load Test 14. Load Test The front mounted mains plug socket can be used to provide a load to check any energy measuring equipment monitoring the electric vehicle charging point under test is working/counting correctly. With the CP state set to either C or D (EV connected and ready to charge) and the PP state set to any setting except NC, an external load may be connected to the mains plug socket, with a maximum current of 10A, for short durations. The EVCA210 is protected against overload by a 10 A fuse.
Specification 17.
Cleaning 19. Cleaning Should the EVCA210 or charging plugs require cleaning they can be wiped down using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never clean the adaptor or plugs when connected to any measurement circuit. Never clean the adaptor or plugs when connected to any test equipment. Never use a solvent based cleaner. Never use the adaptor of plugs until they have dried completely. 20.
