MobileTrain "EV Charging Station, Wallbox, 240V"

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.

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.

The training covers the following topics:

• Understanding the structure and function of charging infrastructure systems
• Identifying the various types of charging columns and connection cables
• Determining the energy and power requirements for charging systems
• Learning about load management and assessing the energy and power requirements at the site
• Understanding the technical and legal requirements for installation
• Learning about the technical standards for connecting charging stations
• Testing communication signals (Cp) in mode A, B, C, and E
• Understanding the protective equipment of charging stations
• Learning about testing and maintenance according to national regulations
• Start/stop charging w/RFID Card, or NFC enabled smart watch/phone
• Troubleshooting potential issues

Here are the benefits of this training system:

• Mobile, compact, and practical, making it easy to transport and set up
• Includes a real practical wall box with a high speed charging 22KW (240V 50 Amp)
  power capacity and supply line simulation
• Allows for practical commissioning and customer instruction
• Start/stop charging w/RFID Card, or NFC enabled smart watch/phone
• Networking is possible via various interfaces, including Ethernet, RS485, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
• Enables actual vehicle charging at a maximum power of 22KW
• Can be integrated into PV systems
• Comes with an integrated fault simulator

The training system has been developed for different training focuses. It consists not only of the Wallbox as a single device, but also includes the installation of the supply line and its safety devices. The training system is very practical and is mainly aimed at the training of electricians. If a charging infrastructure is to be set up, the first thing to be done is to determine or check the location, the max. power demand and also upstream feeders. If necessary, there may also be separate specifications from the energy supplier that must be observed. Then it is decided whether an installation is possible or not. If the installation is to be carried out, the following activities are trained on the training system:

• Protective conductor test (PE/GND) using Fluke 1664
• Insulation resistance measurement L1/L2 - GND using Fluke 1664
• Measurement of the tripping time of the RCD using Fluke 1664
• Measurement of the tripping current of the RCD using Fluke 1664
• Voltage measurement using Fluke 1664
• Loop impedance measurement using Fluke 1664

If the upstream installation or the supply line meets the corresponding requirements (observe country standard), the Wallbox can be plugged in and put into operation.

• Explanations of the technical data on the type plate, or the accompanying documentation
• Commissioning of the Wallbox
• Login and registration
• Determination of communication (Bluetooth, WLAN, LAN, RFID)
• Connecting the Fluke FEV 100 simulator to the charging cable
• Function test Fluke FEV 100:
  Status A = No vehicle connected
  Status B = Vehicle connected but not ready for charging
  Status C = Vehicle connected and ready to charge
  Status D = Fan switched on during gassing charging processes
  PE Error key = charging process is interrupted GND error
  GFCI Test button = RCD test
• 4mm safety sockets at the front of the simulator for measuring the CP signal at status A, B, C, D
• Handing over and briefing of the end customer, additional possibilities of the configuration

The test equipment is not included. We recommend Fluke FEV 100 and Fluke 1664FC US.
