Triplett TEV500 – Pro Electric Vehicle Charger Test Kit

• PE (protective earth) pre-test for presence of voltage against earth

• Control Pilot State vehicle simulation with various vehicle states
• CP Signal State Output for use with an oscilloscope (sold separately)
• CP Error simulation of an established short circuit between CP and PE
• PE Error earth fault simulation

The Triplett Model TEV500 PRO Electric Vehicle Charger Test Kit tests charging stations using both basic and advanced diagnostic techniques. The PE (Protective Earth) pre-test checks the PE conductor for the possible presence of dangerous voltage against earth. With the CP (Control Pilot) state rotary switch selector, various vehicle states can be simulated. You can use the CP signal output terminals to connect your oscilloscope (sold separately) to check the waveform and amplitude of the CP signal. CP error “E” simulates the behavior of the station when there is an established short circuit between CP and PE. PE error (Earth Fault) simulates interruption of the PE conductor.

When the CCID (charge current interrupting device) TRIP test button is pressed, a connection between L1 and PE is established and the CCID from the station should abort the charging process. A phase indicator LED will illuminate when the phase voltage on L1 is present at the charging connector. The measuring terminal outputs L1, L2(N), PE, and PP are directly connected to the corresponding conductors of the charging station under test; you can use a digital multimeter (sold separately) for viewing voltages on these lines.

The TEV vehicle charger testers are available in versions with different capabilities. Please see the table below for some highlighted differences. See each product page’s attached datasheet for specific information.

When the CCID (charge current interrupting device) TRIP button is pressed, a connection between L1 and PE through a power resistor is established, and the CCID from the charging station should abort the charging process.

The user should conduct a PE (protective earth) test prior to performing any other tests. This test allows the operator to test the PE conductor for the presence of dangerous voltage against earth.
