In this webinar, we’re joined by Fluke’s Technical Sales Manager, John Reynolds, who explains the current and future size of the EV (electric vehicle) and EV charging markets, before talking us through some of Fluke’s innovative designs for testing EV charging stations. Check out the full video below:
What kind of tests might be required?
- Visual inspection
- Continuity of protective conductors and protective bonding
- Insulation resistances
- Loop/line impedance
- RCD trip test
- Function tests which include but are not limited to: Vehicle state (A,B,C,D), error handling, communication (PWM signal), mechanical locking of EV plug at the charging station, rotary field and more.
