All electric vehicle drivers are confronted with one or the other problem when charging their cars. If a wallbox is not available at home, the first question is where to find the next charging point. However, the nearest charging point may already be occupied or have technical defects. You can use a navigation app to find a charging point, but what should you do if the charging station is faulty and an error message appears during the charging process?

A safe charging process is extremely important, because the battery could ignite in the event of a charging error. As a fire prevention measure, standards-compliant functional testing of electric vehicles, battery storage systems and the charging infrastructure should be performed at regular intervals. Emphasis is focused on selecting the right measuring and test instruments to this end. As one of the world’s leading suppliers of measuring systems, Gossen Metrawatt can offer a customized safety concept for your electric vehicle with rugged, innovative test technology.

Reliable Charging Infrastructure
Safety Testing of Charging Points

More and more electric cars are on the roads, which means that the performance requirements for the charging infrastructure are also becoming increasingly strict. Wallboxes in residential buildings and charging stations in public areas are used by numerous electric vehicles. In addition to a consistently safe charging process, this also necessitates an effective load management system. Regardless of which charging technology is used – plug-in, pantograph or inductive – regular testing for electrical safety at charging stations is required.

Compliance with legal and normative requirements is cost-saving and economical. Investing in specialized, top-quality test instruments pays off. Based on its expertise in the field of AC and DC power analysis, Gossen Metrawatt offers diagnostic testers for simulating the charging process. In combination with the PROFITEST MF XTRA and the PROFITEST PRIME, you can easily test and document the effectiveness of protective measures for electrical safety at AC/DC charging points.
