Diagnostic Engineering and Verification of EV Charging Infrastructure
We provide specialized services for the comprehensive evaluation of electric vehicle (EV) charging systems, aimed at precise fault identification, performance analysis, and determination of technical responsibility among the electrical installation, the charging equipment (EVSE), and the vehicle.
Our approach combines measurements in accordance with international standards with technical analysis of real-world operating scenarios.
Technical Scope of the Service
- Complete electrical verification of the charging installation
- Functional evaluation of the EVSE under simulated conditions
- Simulation of electric vehicle behavior (Control Pilot / Proximity Pilot)
- Fault diagnosis:
- Intermittent
- Under load
- Dependent on grid conditions
- Evaluation of power supply stability during the charging process
Test Methodology
Tests are run under controlled conditions, reproducing real charging scenarios:
Electrical safety verification
- Insulation resistance (IR, PI, DAR)
- Protective conductor (PE) continuity
- Fault loop impedance (Zs)
- Prospective short-circuit current
Protection evaluation
- Residual current device (RCD) testing:
- Type A
- Type B (required for EV)
- Measurement of trip times and residual current
Electric vehicle simulation
- IEC states: A, B, C, D
- CP (PWM) signal verification
- Fault simulation:
- Ground fault (PE fault)
- CP signal error
- Abnormal connection conditions
Analysis during charging
- Voltage drop under demand
- Dynamic behavior of the system
- Identification of abnormal events
