EVSE-01 –USER MANUAL

1 Safety

EVSE-01 adapter is designed for measurements on charging stations for electric vehicles. It is

designed to test the operational safety and the accuracy of the charging stations used for charging in

mode 3 according to EN-61851-1 with sockets compliant to IEC 62196 Type 2.

In order to provide conditions for correct operation, the following recommendations must be ob-

served:

Before you proceed to operate the adapter, acquaint yourself thoroughly with this manual and

observe the safety regulations and specifications provided by the producer.

Any application that differs from those specified in this manual may result in damage to the de-

vice and constitute a source of danger for the user.

EVSE-01 should be operated only by suitably qualified persons having the necessary permis-

sions to carry out measurements on electrical systems. Operating the Adapter by unauthorised

personnel may result in damage to the device and constitute a source of danger for the user.

It is unacceptable that the user blocks the R button permanently in the position for RISO meas-

urement. This will inactivate voltage controls, preventing voltage to be signalled. It is unaccepta-

ble, as in this state the device cannot be used.

The measuring voltage during the RISO measurement must not exceed 550 V.

Using this manual does not exclude the need to comply with occupational health and safety regula-

tions and with other relevant fire regulations required during the performance of a particular type of

work.

The adapter must not be used for networks and devices in areas with special conditions, e.g.

fire-risk and explosive-risk areas.

It is unacceptable to operate the device when:

it is damaged and completely or partially out of order,

its cords and cables have damaged insulation,

it was stored for an excessive period of time in disadvantageous conditions (e.g. excessive

humidity) If the meter has been transferred from a cool to a warm environment with a

high level of relative humidity, do not start measurements until the meter is warmed

up to the ambient temperature (approximately 30 minutes).

Repairs may be performed only by an authorised service point.

2 Introduction

EVSE-01 adapter allows the user to conduct electrical measurements on charging stations of

electric vehicles: AC voltage station with a connector of type 2 equipped with sockets or a fixed

charging cable.

In combination with MPI meters, the user may perform a wide range of tests. The adapter simu-

lates the load acting on the cable connected to the charger and the status of the charger in relation to

the vehicle.

The adapter is compatible with the following devices:

MPI-540 / MPI-535,

MPI-530 / MPI-530-IT,

MPI-525,

MPI-520,

MPI-502.

CAUTION!

The adapters is designed for measurements performed with MPI meters. It is not

recommended for using in other applications.

The range of available measurements depends on the meter. See also functional

comparison of MPI meters at the end of this manual.

EVSE-01 –USER MANUAL

3 Quick start

Connect the adapter to the meter.

Set the adapter at:

PP = 63 A,

CP = A.

Connect the adapter to the charger (sec. 5).

►

Enter the simulation settings (rsec. 4) and

start individual measurements.

Perform measurements for all required com-

binations of settings.

CP = C or D –with these settings, you can

measure the fault loop impedance and

test residual current circuit breakers.

CP = B - with these settings, you can meas-

ure the insulation resistance.

CP = E –this setting is used to simulate an

error.

To disconnect the adapter from the live

charger, set CP = A, and - if necessary - PP

= NC.

EVSE-01 –USER MANUAL

4 Settings

The chargers for electric vehicles have types of lines: communication and power supply. The

charging current flows through the power supply lines. The communication lines (PP, CP) transfer in-

formation on the status of the receiver, resulting in the change of charger internal settings.

Fig. 4.1. Plug IEC 62196, Type 2.

PP, CP - communication between

the charger and receiver

L1, L2, L3, N, PE –wires of the

3-phase line

PP line informs the charger about connect-

ing/disconnecting the power supply cable to the receiver

- if the cable is connected the indicates its rated current.

CP line sends information about the current state of the

receiver: connected, charging etc.

EVSE-01 provides a simulation of situations when

the charged object:

is connected to the charging source via a ca-

ble with a pre-set maximum current PP

and the charging cycle is in a mode set on CP

line.

PP and CP settings are selected by using suitable

knobs.

Fig. 4.2. Panel with simulation knobs

PP knob simulates the charging cable:

NC - the cable is not connected,

13 ... 63 A - the cable is plugged and has the rated current set.

CP knob simulates the vehicle-charger relation:

position A –no connection,

position B –connected, no charging,

position C –charging (station without ventilation)

position D –charging (station with ventilation)

position E - error: CP short-circuit with EP.

Due to the many types of electric chargers, the selection of correct settings of EVSE-

01 requires from the measuring person the knowledge of the tested object and pa-

rameters of measurements to be performed.

EVSE-01 –USER MANUAL

5 Measurements

Testing of a charging station involves the RISO measurement of its insulation resistance, ZSfault

loop impedance and RCD protection at different simulated conditions of the receiver.

5.1 Automatic measurements

Connect the control plug to the meter.

Find the list of charger tests in section

Automatic measurements of the meter.

Select the test required for your meas-

urements.

Enter the settings required during the

tests.

For test ZL-N, ZL-L, ZL-PE[RCD]:

protection of phases L1, L2, L3

supplying the charger,

method for calculating short-circuit

current Ik,

RCD type.

For RCD test:

rated current IΔn,

testing mode

protection type

test voltage UL,

currents to be measured,

phases taken into account in the

test.

For RISO tests:

test voltage,

measurement time,

bottom limit.

EVSE-01 –USER MANUAL

Set the adapter at:

PP = 63 A,

CP = A.

►

Connect EVSE-01 to the charger and

supply it with power.

Press START. The automatic measure-

ment sequence will start.

Observe the messages on the screen

and follow the prompts.

The procedure consists of some or all of

the following steps:

Visual test - results from the response

of the charger to different PP and CP

states

ZS–results from parameters of pow-

ers supply network. Set CP = C or D,

RCD - results from the safety device of

the charger. Set CP = C or D,

RISO –results from the basic insulation

of the charger. Set CP = B.

After completion of the measurement, a

summary is displayed.

The results can be saved in memory by

using icon .

Before and during RISO measurement, it is rec-

ommended to press and hold the 'R' button. It

eliminates the effect of voltage controls on the

result. ►

During the measurement of the insulation re-

sistance RISO, the measuring voltage must not

exceed 550 V.

All measurements (in particular RISO!) should

be carried out taking into account the documen-

tation of the tested charger.

EVSE-01 –USER MANUAL

5.2 Manual measurements

►

Activate the desired measuring function

in the meter and enter the settings re-

quired during the test.

Connect EVSE-01 to the meter.

If you test 3-phase chargers, use banana-socket cables

If you test 1-phase charger, use banana-socket cables or WS adapter.

If you use the WS adapter for testing a 3-phase charger, you will be able to

measure only L1 phase.

Set the adapter at:

PP = 63A,

CP = A.

Connect EVSE-01 to the charger and

supply it with power.
