EV test

lyledunn
I note that there seems to be some increased focus by instrument manufacturers to facilitate the testing of the 6mA DC detection element integral in some AC charge points. You can also buy a rather expensive adaptor with testing ports If you don’t want to open the enclosure. One charge point manufacturer requires that you purchase their Bespoke tester before they will provide accreditation for OLEV. It doesn’t seem to do much and doesn’t work on other manufacturers chargers. Anyway, I digress, the question is whether the RDCDD needs site tested and what parameters should be met.

    The Megger 1741+ still requires a £420 accessory.

     


    Yes, altogether an expensive outlay for contractors which I am sure they would take take on the chin if these tests  were imperative for regulatory compliance. If you did dish out for the Megger set-up you would still have to fork out another £400 for a lesser accessory if you want to install Rolec charge points as one of their approved contractors. They insist on the purchase of their model of tester which doesn’t have some of the facilities available on the Megger.
