Normal / AC Charging
In electricity grid, electric power is AC •
(alternating current) by nature. How-
ever, electric power in battery is DC
(Direct Current) by nature. Hence, to
charge an electric car by AC grid,
power has to be converted from AC to
DC. And to convert AC power to DC
power On-board Charger is used. This
type of charging is called Normal
charging/AC charging.
Normal charging is recommended for
•
usual charging of the vehicle. This
charging method is most suitable for
parking spots where the car will stay
parked for longer duration of time.
It takes Approximately 15.5 hours(time
•
for a 0-100% charge, may increase
basis factors such as ambient temper-
ature, electrical load on meter, vehicle
usage during and before charging, air
conditioning usage during charging,
aux loads etc.) of components to
achieve 100 per cent charge with Nor-
mal Charging. The charging gun will be
locked after switching on the AC sup-
ply.
Precautions For Normal Charging
Proper maintenance of earthling pit is 1.
must. Add water & add salts at regular
intervals into the earth pits in order to
maintain the value of earth resistance.
Check annually the condition of the
electrodes so as to add or replace
electrodes.
The electrical socket used for EV
2.
charging and its associated wiring
should be able to supply 15A dedi-
cated load continuously.
Check the charging inlet for accumula-
3.
tion of dust or any foreign objects.
Don’t try to pull off the charging gun
4.
during charging.
Don’t pull out the charging gun if it is in
5.
locked condition as excess force can
break or damage the locking mecha-
nism.
Normal Charging Procedure
Engage the Automatic Parking Brake. 1.
(Charging won’t start if APB is not en-
gaged).
Connect the plug to AC power socket. 2.
DO NOT plug into a power strip. 3.
