EVSE Adaptor

1 product

The EVSE Adaptor Collection offers specialized devices designed for testing and verifying electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) charging stations. These adaptors simulate vehicle charging conditions, allowing technicians to assess functionality, safety, and compliance of EV chargers. Essential for service engineers, installers, and inspectors, they ensure charging points meet performance standards. Built for durability and precision, they are indispensable in the expanding electric vehicle infrastructure industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

An EVSE adaptor acts as a communication bridge that simulates an electric vehicle being plugged into a charging point. This allows technicians to trigger the charging process and access the internal electrical circuits for safety testing without the presence of a real car.

The FEV300 adaptor is designed to work with AC charging stations using Type 2 (Mennekes) and Type 1 (J1772) connectors. It is compatible with Charging Mode 3, allowing for standardized testing of both residential and commercial wallboxes and public charging pillars.

When connected to a compatible multifunction tester, these adaptors allow for critical measurements such as earth bond, loop impedance, and RCD trip testing. They also verify the Control Pilot (CP) and Proximity Pilot (PP) signals to ensure the station communicates correctly with the vehicle.

The simulation of CP and PE errors allows a technician to verify that the charging station immediately shuts down during a fault condition. This ensures that the station’s safety logic will protect a user from potential electric shocks or equipment damage in a real-world failure.

The adaptor includes a rotary switch that simulates different cable current ratings to ensure the charging station identifies the cable capacity correctly. This test confirms that the station will not provide more current than the charging cable is safely rated to handle.

Yes, periodic calibration is necessary to ensure that the internal resistance and signal simulation components of the adaptor remain within technical specifications. HK Calibrations provides ISO-compliant calibration to guarantee that your safety reports and compliance certificates remain legally and technically valid.
