Introduction
The FEV300 (the Product or test adapter) tests the functions and the safety
of charging stations mode 3 for AC charging. The adapter imitates a car and
opens up a charging cycle (activate voltage/current output). This adapter
allows you to conduct tests in combination with appropriate test instruments
like Installation Tester, multimeter and/or Scope Meters (oscilloscope). With
this adapter, charging stations can be tested in accordance with IEC/EN
61851-1 and IEC/HD 60364-7-722.

Testing Charging Stations
WX Warning
To prevent possible electric shock, re, or personal injury:
• Before starting tests, the operator must be familiar with the
following standards: IEC/EN 61851-1, "Electric vehicle conductive
charging system - Part 1: General requirements", IEC/HD 60364-7-
722 “Low-voltage electrical installations - Part 7-722: Requirements
for special installations or locations - Supplies for electric vehicles”
and the documentation of the charging station itself.
• Before starting any tests, refer to the local regulations and
standards for: safety at work and any relevant publications from
the Health and Safety Executive.
• Only skilled persons, competent in verication and the types of tests
suitable for installations and charging stations, should do the tests.
• If the wrong types of tests are done or if testing is done in an
incorrect sequence then a potentially hazardous situation can
occur for both the operator and the DUT (Device Under Test).
• The operator must fully understand the various tests required and
how they should be done.
• The charging station must pass the Protective Earth (Ground) PE
Pre-Test prior to the operator touching exposed metal surfaces or
any other test. If the PE Pre-Test fails, stop further testing. Resolve
any faults before proceeding. In case of error, all metal parts of
the charging station including output terminals and PE can have
hazardous voltage. In this case, there is a high risk of electric
shock to the operator and other persons nearby.
• The PE Pre-Test detects the presence of hazardous voltage on
Protective Earth but may not detect an open Protective Earth.
Purpose of the Product
These are the main functions of the Product:
• To simulate connection of an electrical vehicle to the tested charging
station (the test adapter simulates electrical vehicle and charging
cable). Connection of the Product to a charging station triggers the
charging process in the charging station (CP switch at the adapter

6
shall be in appropriate state). Various cable charging capabilities can
be simulated (open, 13 A, 20 A, 32 A and 63 A) as well as all possible
electrical vehicle state (state A, B, C , D ).
• To provide easy access to charging terminals L1, L2, L3, N, PE and
to CP signal terminals to conduct safety and functional testing and
connect additional measuring equipment. Charging stations should be
tested after installation and tests repeated periodically.
Please refer to the manufacturer’s recommendation and national standards
which are linked to IEC/HD 60364-6 for initial test or IEC/HD 60364-7-722.
Required tests are:
• Visual inspection
• Continuity of protective conductors and protective bonding
(earth bond / PE)
• Insulation resistances
• Loop / line impedance
• RCD trip test
• Function tests (including but not limited to):
- Vehicle state A, B, C, D,
- Error handling (error state “E”, PE Error state "F" (Earth Fault), …)
- Communication (PWM signal)
- Mechanical locking of EV plug at the charging station
- Rotary eld / phase sequence of output voltage
- Other tests

Figure 9. PE pretest
The PE Pre-Test is a safety feature of the Product. The PE Pre-Test allows
the operator to test the PE conductor for possible presence of dangerous
voltage against earth.
In normal circumstances, the PE conductor is connected to earth and
therefore has no voltage against earth. However, if the PE conductor is not
connected to earth (for example, connected to phase by mistake or PE is
interrupted) the situation may be hazardous.
Operator skin contact is required on the PE PRE-TEST touch sensor (do
not wear gloves) as well as a suitable operator reference to a known earth
ground (through the operator’s shoes or other clothing). Do not touch any
metal parts of the charging station while performing this test. In case of
improper connection to earth (for example, isolated placement of your body)
this indication may be not reliable.
Test procedure:
1. Connect the test adapter to the charging station.
2. Touch the touch sensor with a bare nger. If PE warning indicator (item
2, Figure 2) illuminates, then dangerous voltage is present at PE
conductor and metal parts of the charging station. Stop further testing
immediately and check for a possible wiring fault of the tested PE
conductor.
WIn case of this error, PE terminal carries hazardous voltage. There is a
high risk of electric shock to the operator and other persons nearby!
Possible errors are:
• PE interrupted / not connected
• PE carries voltage (for example, connected to phase)
WX Warning
• The PE Pre-Test detects the presence of hazardous voltage on
Protective Earth but may not detect an open Protective Earth.

Proximity Pilot (PP) State (Cable Simulation)
To simulate various current capabilities of the charging cable, connect the
test adapter to the charging station and set the PP State rotary switch (item
1, Figure 2). The adapter simulates the current capabilities with di󰀨erent
resistances connected between PP and PE conductors. See Table 2 for the
correlation between resistance and current capability of the charging cable.
Note
If the charging station has a xed cable with vehicle connector then
this setting of PP is not used in all.

the charging cable.

Control Pilot (CP) State (Vehicle Simulation)
Use the CP State rotary switch selector (item 10, Figure 2), to simulate
various vehicle states when the test adapter is connected to the charging
station. Vehicle states are simulated with di󰀨erent resistances connected
between CP and PE conductors. Correlation between resistance and vehicle
states is shown in Table 3.
