Adapter for testing electric vehicle charging stations WAADAEVSE01

Charging station diagnostics – Sonel EVSE-01 adapter

The Sonel EVSE-01 adapter is a key tool for installers and service technicians working with electric vehicle charging stations. It enables comprehensive and fast diagnostics, in accordance with applicable regulations. By simulating the charging cable (proximity pilot line - PP) and the vehicle connection status (control pilot line - CP), the adapter puts the station into various operating modes, allowing for a full range of safety measurements.

Versatile application and compatibility

The adapter is designed for testing AC charging stations with a Type 2 connector, both those with a socket and those with a permanently attached charging cable. It supports single-phase and three-phase stations, with and without ventilation. EVSE-01 works with Sonel MPI series multi-functional meters, especially MPI-540, MPI-530 and MPI-520, extending their diagnostic capabilities to the specifics of charging stations.

Measurements for safety and compliance

Thanks to the adapter, it is possible to precisely measure: loop impedance ZS, insulation resistance RISO and check the operation of residual current devices (RCDs). Additionally, a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal is available on one of the EVSE-01 sockets, facilitating the analysis of the station's operation. This allows for verification of the correct operation of the charging station and ensuring user safety.

Practical benefits for the installer:

• Fast diagnostics: Reduces the time needed to check the charger installation.
• Comprehensive measurements: Possibility to perform all necessary safety tests in one place.
• Compliance with standards: Measurements performed in accordance with applicable regulations and standards.
• Compatibility with existing equipment: Compatibility with popular Sonel MPI meters allows you to utilize existing resources.
• Simplified analysis: PWM signal facilitates data interpretation and troubleshooting.

The EVSE-01 adapter is indispensable during acceptance of installations, periodic inspections and locating faults in electric vehicle charging stations. Its solid construction and measurement accuracy guarantee reliable results and professional service quality. The adapter's current carrying capacity is 63A, allowing for testing of most charging stations available on the market.
