We have therefore developed a versatile technical solution for inclusive testing of a wide variety of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). The A 1632 eMobility Analyser offers both electrical safety and functional testing of EVSE, i.e. checking if the charging station/equipment can actually charge a vehicle and do so in a proper (not only safe) and efficient manner. An added feature is the diagnostic functionality of communication monitoring between the charging station and (simulated) electric vehicle for a more comprehensive analysis of any potential issues. Supported (both safety and functional testing/analysis) are charging stations with type 1 and type 2 charging connectors and mode 2 and mode 3 charging cables.
The A 1632 eMobility Analyser is a special accessory designed for diagnostic testing of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) together with supported METREL installation testers. It supports verification of electrical safety and functional testing of Type 1 and/or Type 2 EVSE as well as testing of Mode 2 and Mode 3 electrical vehicle (EV) charging cables and communication monitoring between the charging station and the EV during charging. Fully supported professional station-based and cable-based report creation with MESM software.
