Test the safety and performance of a type 1, level 1 or level 2 electric vehicle ac charging station (EVSE) with the Fluke eMobility kit. When connected to the test adapter, the 87V digital multimeter will allow you to monitor the output voltage and maximum charging current of the station. Use the FEV100 and 87V together to verify an EV charging station is working properly after install and during periodic maintenance, or troubleshoot an EVSE if it is not delivering the appropriate charge. There is no need to bring an electric vehicle onsite for EVSE troubleshooting: the adapter acts as an electric vehicle when connected to an EVSE for easy performance and maintenance testing. Test charging states of EVSE with CP state simulation. SAE J1772 compliant to North American standards.
Perform multiple electrical safety checks with the FEV100:
- PE PRE-TEST: Grounding system pre-test verifies that there is no presence of dangerous voltage at the ground terminal_.
- GFCI TEST: Ground fault circuit interrupter test verifies the breaker of the EVSE is connected by detecting ground faults_.
- PE ERROR: Ground fault simulation indicates an interruption of the ground conductor; the pending charging process is aborted, and new charging processes are prevented.
- CP ERROR ÒEÓ: The standard J1772 defines Error ÒEÓ as a state when charging station is disconnected from vehicle, disconnected from utility, there is a loss of utility power or control pilot is short to control pilot reference (ground).
Key features
- Verify charging voltage and maximum available current using the 87V multimeter and TL224 test leads.
- Check protective earth for correct wiring and functioning with the PE pre-test feature.
- Perform GFCI troubleshooting of EVSE and verify operation within safety standards.
