Safety references
Safety References
The respective accident prevention regulations established the professional
associations for electrical systems and equipment must be strictly met at all
times.
In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid safety and VDE regulations
regarding excessive contact voltages must receive utmost attention, when
working with voltages exceeding 120V (60V) DC or 50V (25V) rms AC. The values
in brackets are valid for limited ranges (as for example medicine and
agriculture).
Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical systems are only to be
carried out in compliance with the instructions of a responsible electronics
technician, and never alone.
If the operator’s safety is no longer ensured, the instrument is to be put out
of service and protected against use. The safety is no longer insured if the
instrument:
- shows obvious damage
- does not carry out the desired measurements
- has been stored for too long under unfavorable conditions
- has been subjected to mechanical stress during transport.
The instrument may only be used within the operating ranges as specified in
the technical data section.
Avoid any heating up of the instrument by direct sunlight to ensure perfect
functioning and long instrument life.
The opening of the instrument for fuse replacement, for example, may only be
carried out by professionals. Prior to opening, the instrument has to be
switched off and disconnected from any current circuit.
The instrument may only be used under those conditions and for those purposes
for which it was conceived. For this reason, in particular the safety
references, the technical data including environmental conditions and the
usage in dry environments must be followed.
When modifying or changing the instrument, the operational safety is no longer ensured.
Testing
Purpose of the EVSE X7 accessory
The UNIKS EVSE X7is an accessory to support all relevant measurements of a
Multifunction Tester (MFT) to simply wire between the EVSE charging point
(Type-2 connector) and the measurement inputs of the MFT. All wires of the
charging connector are available: L1, L2, L3, N, PE, CP and PP. This allows to
perform typical MFT measurements: Voltage, frequency, phase indication, phase
sequence, various RCD tests and measurements, insulation resistance, low ohm
measurements, line and loop impedances, …. Typical connection between EVSE X7
and NOVA or NOVA PRO (Multifunction Installation Testers).
Test procedure:
- connect the needed 4 mm test plugs of the UNIKS EVSE X7to your MFT,
- select CP Mode “A” with the slider switch,
- connect UNIKS EVSE X7to the Type-2 connector of the charging point,
- select CP Mode “B” with the slider switch, the charging point should show “ready to charge”,
- select CP Mode “C” with the slider switch, the charging point
- should start charging,
- perform all measurements in active stage of the charging point (voltage and similar),
- after you completed all your measurements select CP Mode
- “A” with the slider switch to stop charging,
- unplug UNIKS EVSE X7from the charging point.
Proximity Pilot (PP) State (Cable Simulation)
The UNIKS EVSE X7is configured internally to setup 32 A current capability.
Control Pilot (CP) State (Vehicle Simulation)
With the CP Mode slider switch various vehicle states can be simulated.
Vehicle states are simulated with different resistances connected between CP
and PE conductors. Correlation between resistance and vehicle states is shown
in Table below
| Vehicle State | State Description | CP- PE | CP |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Electric vehicle not connected | Open (∞) | ±12V @ 1KHz |
| B | Vehicle connecte d, not ready to charge | 2.74K Ω | +9V/-12V @ 1KHz |
| C | Electric vehicle connected ready to charge, ventilation not required | ||
| 882Ω | +6V/-12V @ 1KHz | ||
| [E] | CP Error „E“ (see below) | 0Ω | 0V |
Testing
CP Signal output terminals
CP output terminals are short connected to the CP and PE conductors of the
tested charging station via the test cable. Use an oscilloscope to check the
waveform and amplitude of the CP signal. Control Pilot function uses Pulse
Width Modulation (PWM) to code communication between a vehicle and charging
station. The duty cycle of the PWM signal defines the possible available
charging current, while amplitude defines charger state.
For details of communication protocol please refer to IEC/EN 61851-1 and the
documentation of the manufacturer of the charging station.
Important note: In the case of wrong wiring of the charging station, low
signal CP test terminals can get high, live hazard voltage.
CP Error “E” simulation
“E” – CP Error simulation could be realized by pushing the slider switch into
(spring loaded) position [E]. This will simulate behavior of the station when
there is a short circuit between CP and PE through internal diode (acc. to
standard IEC/EN 61851-1). In the case of CP Error (“E” is pushed), result
should be aborting of the charging process and new charging process is
prevented.
Measuring terminals
All terminals inside the Type-2 connector (L1, L2, L3, N, PE, CP and PP) are
available on 4 mm safety connectors with double insulated wires according to
IEC 61010-031. It is allowed to use these for measuring purposes only. It is
not allowed to draw cur- rent over a longer period or supply anything else. An
appropriate measurement instrument is needed.
Cleaning
If the instrument is dirty after daily usage, it is advised to clean it by
using a humid cloth and a mild household detergent. Prior to cleaning, ensure
that instrument is switched off and disconnected from external voltage supply
and any other instruments connect- ed (such as UUT, control instruments,
etc.).
Never use acid detergents or dissolvent for cleaning.
