To aid with the growing infrastructure of electric vehicle charging, ATEC carries an array of EV charger testers and EVSE test equipment from leading manufacturers including Fluke and Megger.
What is an EV Charger Tester?
EV testers measure the AC and DC charging ability of a charging station by mimicking an electric vehicle (EV). This portable device can test for all AC levels along with any DC charging purposes.
The EV charging test equipment not only analyzes the station's charging ability and accuracy, but simulates any faults that may occur when connected to an EV. Common charging faults like CP signal errors and protective conductor faults may be found within seconds through the device.
What is EVSE Test Equipment?
Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) provides power to recharge an EV's battery. With EVs being integrated into the power grid, EVSE testing becomes critical to ensure safety and correct operation. Much of electric vehicle charging involves software and communication protocols to trigger the timing of voltage and current flow to the battery. EVSE test equipment is used to evaluate the functionality of not only the DC charging but other performance, especially $/kWh.
Testing with EVSE test equipment ensures that charging stations meet all safety protocols and provide efficient power through any proper connection.
