KT66DL Electric Vehicle Test Kit
New government regulations came into force on 1st July 2021
The regulations ensure charge points have smart functionality, allowing the
charging of an electric vehicle when there is less demand on the grid, or when
more renewable electricity is available. The regulations also ensure that
charge points meet certain device-level requirements, enabling a minimum level
of access, security and information for consumers.
KEWEVSE Adapter
Use either the mains socket on the rear (for single phase)or the 4mm
connectors on the front (for three phase or single phase).
Turn the PP state to the rating of the charging point under test.
Starting from the A position (open) on the CP state dial, connect up the
KEWEVSE and MFT. For systems that require ventiation turn the dial
anticlockwise for systems that do not require ventilation turn clockwise.
Turn to position B (vehicle connected but not requiring charging), the
charging point should change its status indicating that a vehicle is
connected.
Turn to position C for unvented or D for (ventilation required). The contacts
in the charging point should open and the electrical safety test can be
undertaken.
In the case of the protective devices tripping during the RCD / RDCDD tests
the dial should be turned back to A and then C or D. (Note: some charging
points will reset themselves without the COP dial being turned to a A and back
to C or D).
Tests recommended
- Functionality of EVSE by way of a KEWEVSE adapter
- Electrical Safety tests using an EVSE adapter and an advanced MFT (KT66DL) to test:
a) Type B RCDs
b) Type A RCDs
c) 6 mA RDCDDs
d) Loop impedence
