Installation Technology and Industrial Maintenance

A charging station, also known as a charge point or electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), is a piece of equipment that supplies electrical power for charging plug-in electric vehicles (including electric cars, electric trucks, electric buses, neighborhood electric vehicles, and plug-in hybrids). These charging stations can be conveniently installed at different locations, including public areas, private residences, and parking lots. As the popularity of electric vehicles continues to rise due to their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) have become an essential component of the electric vehicle infrastructure. There are different types of EVCS, such as Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 charging stations, with varying charging speeds and power levels that are dependent on the power available. necessary code regulations to perform installation and safety tests independently. The Lucas-Nuelle training system provides students all the essential knowledge regarding installation and safety testing. It is also designed to easily integrate into an existing smart building energy system.

The wallboxes used for EV installations are high-performance charging stations that are suitable for both private and semi-public use. These charging stations are compact in size and can be easily mounted on a house wall, in a garage, or in a carport. By utilizing interfaces and bus systems, wallboxes can be seamlessly integrated into an energy management system. Moreover, wallboxes can be connected to a smart home, a photovoltaic system with storage, or a smart metering system. It is crucial to safely install charging stations and cables in compliance with the relevant local electrical codes and to carry out regular safety tests. With the help of the Lucas-Nuelle training system, individuals can safely learn about the different functions, installation requirements, and necessary code regulations to perform installation and safety tests independently. The Lucas-Nuelle training system provides students all the essential knowledge regarding installation and safety testing. It is also designed to easily integrate into an existing smart building energy system.

Whether at home, at work, in retail stores, in underground parking facilities or in the hospitality industry, wallboxes are a safe and reliable EV recharging solution suitable for every application case. Using interfaces and bus systems, the Wallbox can be integrated into an energy management system. It is possible to connect the Wallbox to a smart home or a photovoltaic system with storage or to a smart meter system. The electrical safety of the charging infrastructure must be certified by the operator at regular intervals. This equipment is used to train personnel on how to inspect such hardwired charging infrastructure along with the portable charging cable.
