Description

Sonel EVSE-100 – The multifunctional analyser for electric vehicle charging stations

The Sonel EVSE-100 is able to make diagnostics and measurements of stationary AC charging stations as well as for diagnostics and measurements of portable AC charging stations (ICCB).  The Sonel EVSE-100 is also able to test charging cables making it a comprehensive charging station diagnostic tool in a single instrument.

Capabilities

The Sonel EVSE-100 multifunctional analyser is an instrument dedicated to the diagnostics of electric vehicle charging stations and cables. Using a single device, we will perform a set of tests on these objects, ending with the generation of a professional report. Through appropriate simulation of CP and PP circuits, the meter can put the station into various operating states. This allows us to verify the correctness of the control system and perform measurements in the field of electric shock protection. We can complete the verification of functionality and safety by simulating errors on both the power and charging sides of the vehicle (CP circuit).

Applications

The meter makes it possible to carry out diagnostics on:

  • AC electric vehicle charging stations with type 2 connector with socket or fixed charging cable (1-phase and 3-phase)
  • Portable electric vehicle charging stations with type 2 connector (1-phase and 3-phase)
  • Charging cables
