Equipment set TP 8014: Electric vehicle charging station

Learn everything about charging stations for electric vehicles

Like all permanently-wired electrical installations, charging stations are required to meet stringent regulations to ensure proper operation and user safety. There is, therefore, a growing need for competent, well-trained personnel to install, commission, and service charging stations.

The Electric Vehicle Charging Station of Festo Didactic is designed for hands-on training in the planning, installation, testing, and troubleshooting of a modern charging station. The flexible, modular design enables easy set-up of various charging station configurations, ranging from a simple, single-phase station to more advanced, multi-phase stations that can simultaneously charge two users.

The advanced stations include electrically commuted power circuits that automatically adapt to the capacity of the detected charging cable. Among further options for advanced stations are energy meters to measure consumption during a charge, and RFID-based user identification and charge control.

The modules that make up the system are designed to be mounted in a standard A4 workstation. Each module has front-panel connections for power and for sensing/control signals. In addition, commercially-available protective devices, such as circuit breakers and residual current devices, are included as system modules.

Features

  • Covers two independent charging points in accordance with VDE 0100-722
  • Modular design allows the combination of packages
  • Flexible packages for specific training and budget needs
  • Designed for A4 mounting frames
  • New and safer inter-module grounding methods

Note

  • The equipment set covers single and three-phase installations (see below). If you require only one of these configurations, consult your sales representative for a down-scaled equipment set.
  • The Pocket Oscilloscope can be replaced by a conventional oscilloscope.
  • The Resistive Load is to be used in conjunction with the Energy Meters to simulate a load. Other loads can also be used.
  • The 3AC Power Supply and Safety Unit can be replaced by a similar unit in the lab. Be sure to order if your lab is not already equipped with such a unit.
