An Important Detail: E-Charging Cables Must be in Safe Working Order!
The e-charging cable is an important factor in a safe charging process which ensures reliable e-mobility. Without functional charging cables, it’s impossible to charge electric vehicles properly at electric charging points. Mobile e-charging cables are in continuous use, which can lead to a certain amount of wear and tear, or damage.
In order to ensure cable safety, e-charging cables – regardless of cable type – must be inspected at regular intervals by qualified electricians in accordance with DGUV V3. This makes it possible to detect insulation defects and other faults at an early stage and effectively prevent potential risks such as cable fires, electric shock and short-circuits.
In addition to visual inspection, the safety functions of e-charging cables should be checked by simulating faults such as interruption, reversed wires and PE to phase, which makes it advisable to use professional measuring technology that permits standards-compliant testing. As one of the world’s leading suppliers of measuring systems, Gossen Metrawatt guarantees high quality standards for test procedures with its rugged and innovative test technology.
Do you run a vehicle workshop and are you authorized to perform DGUV testing of e-charging cables? You need suitable test instruments that make it possible to test the electrical safety of mobile e-charging cables in accordance with the relevant standards.
Based on its expertise in the field of testing electrical devices in accordance with DGUV V3, Gossen Metrawatt offers diagnostic testers for simulating the charging process. In combination with the PROFITEST MF XTRA and the SECUTEST LEMONGREEN, you can easily test and document the effectiveness of protective measures for electrical safety at e-charging cables.
Standards-compliant testing of mode 2 and 3, single and 3-phase charging cables in accordance with EN 50678 (VDE 0701), EN 50699 (VDE 0702) and the manufacturer’s specifications can be conducted professionally with the PROFITEST E-MOBILITY adapter.
