Key Benefits
- Comprehensive charge point testing
- Fully integrated solution
- Reduced complexity
- Automation for faster testing
Description
Used with Megger MFT-X1 multifunction installation testers, the EVX100 adaptor provides all the functions needed for automated and manual testing of single- and three-phase Mode 3 electric vehicle charge points rated at up to 22 kW. Unlike other adaptors, the EVX100 mounts directly onto the MFT, which means it provides a fully integrated solution that doesn’t need inconvenient interconnecting cables.
Another unique benefit is that the EVX100 is directly controlled by the MFT-X1, which makes it easier and faster to use. In addition, direct control reduces the possibility of making incorrect test selections. The EVX100 also confirms that the mode set on the charger is correct for the test being performed.
To make testing even more convenient, the EVX100 offers automated testing, which means that you will no longer have to manually cycle the charge point through numerous CP states every time a test trips a protective device such as an RCD or RDC. As protective devices are often fitted in locations at a considerable distance from the charge point, this feature can potentially save a lot of walking and valuable time.
The EVX100 is powered by a high capacity internal battery, which can be recharged quickly via a standard USB-C charging port. This means you won’t need mains cables with various types of plugs. Just two charger connectors – Type 1 and Type 2 – will almost certainly cover all of your testing requirements, with type 2 supplied as standard. And, if you’re a user of CertSuite Installation software, you can produce customised test certificates in real-time with just a couple of clicks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to carry out the full range of tests needed for fault finding as well as for certification with the EVX100?
Yes, the EVX with an attached MFT-X1 provides all of the tests needed to check every aspect of charge point operation without the need for additional equipment.
Can the EVX100 be left permanently installed on the MFT-X1?
Yes for EV Charger testing. Disconnect when testing other electrical installations. For standard electrical testing the unit is removed to access standard test lead connections
Does the automatic cycling after an RCD or RDC trip work with every type of charge point?
Yes it will. However chargers that are connected to back-office systems will need to be isolated before testing commences to ensure they reset after a tripping test. This is the same as a manual EV charger adaptor.
Can the EVX100 be used with any other type of installation tester other than the MFT-X1?
No, the EVX100's advanced features depend on a direct connection to the MFT-X1, so it won’t work with any other type of installation tester.
Will my existing MFT-X1 work with the EVX100?
Yes. The MFT hardware needs no modification. Just update the firmware which is available free of charge from the Megger web site. This will also add any additional features that are available in addition to the EVX100 functionality.
