2. Description
2.1. Description of the machine
DazeBox
is a device for recharging electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids.
The charging is carried out in mode 3, in compliance with the IEC / EN 61851-1 standard, which consists in
connecting the electric or rechargeable hybrid vehicle to the AC mains supply using specific connectors, in
compliance with IEC 62196-1 and 2, and in the presence of a pilot control circuit inside the station for
checking the continuity of the protective conductor between the vehicle and the network during charging.
This check is necessary to ensure that no dangerous voltage can be discharged through the accidental
contact of unaware persons. Mode 3 is therefore recommended for its maximum degree of safety and also
for its ability to deliver high currents.
The control circuit also provides for the communication between the charging station and the vehicle
through the PWM (
Pulse Width Modulation
) described in attached A of the IEC / EN 61851-1 standard: the
station communicates to the vehicle the availability of the grid through a frequency modulated signal, the
vehicle adapts the load by returning its state through a voltage value (for mode 3 the function is performed
by means of a "typical" pilot control circuit).
2.2. Structure
The frame of
DazeBox
is made of aluminum, to ensure high stability and rigidity. The body and body parts
are in plastic.
Each design element is the result of in-depth studies aimed at providing an ergonomic, agile and intelligent
work tool.
2.3. Technical characteristics
Overall body dimensions: Length: 335 mm; Width: 277 mm; Height 95mm (plug not included).
Weight: about 4 kg.
