5 Using the DLEV1
5.1 Functions of the DLEV1 Adaptor
There are two main functions of the Test Adaptor:
•
The DLEV1 adaptor is designed to simulate connection of an
electrical vehicle to the charging station under test by simulating
the communication signals electric vehicles produce when
connected. Connection of the test adaptor to a charging station
triggers the charging process when the correct Control Pilot
(CP) state is selected (A, B, C or D) in conjunction with the
Proximity Pilot (PP) state for cable charging current capability
(NC, 13A, 20A, 32A or 63A).
•
To provide easy access to charging terminals L1, L2, L3, N, PE
and to CP signal terminals to which additional measuring
equipment, such as a multifunctional installation tester, can be
connected for further testing. Charging stations should be
tested after installation and testing should be repeated
periodically.
Please refer to the manufacturer's recommendation and national
standards which are linked to IEC/HO 60364-6 for the initial test or
IEC/HO 60364-7-722, required tests are:
•
Visual inspection
•
Continuity of protective conductors and protective bonding
•
Insulation resistances
•
Loop/Line impedance
•
RCD test
•
Function tests, including but not limited to:
o
Vehicle state A,B,C,D
o
Error handling Error
“E", PE Error (Earth Fault)
o
Communication PWM signal
o
Mechanical locking of plug
o
Rotary field/phase sequence
o
