BENNING EV 3-2 measuring adapter enables you to perform safety and functional tests on
certain charging stations for electric vehicles (EVSE, electric vehicle supply equipment) in
compliance with DIN VDE 0100-600 (IEC 60364-6) and DIN VDE 0105-100 (EN 50110) using
the corresponding installation tester.
