What is EVSE Protocol?
The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) protocol keeps you and your electric vehicle safe while charging.
Using two-way communication between the charger and car, the correct charging current is set based on the maximum
current the charger can provide as well as the maximum current the car can receive. As part of the protocol,
a safety lock-out exists, preventing current from flowing when the charger is not connected to the car.
It ensures that if a cable is not correctly inserted, power will not flow through it.
Examples of Error Conditions Identified:
Error condition or disconnection of plug
EVSE does not supply energy
EV detected, EV not ready to receive energy, EVSE does not supply energy
EV ready to receive energy, EVSE is supplying energy if ventilation is not required.
EV ready to receive energy and requires ventilation, EVSE is supplying energy only if ventilation exists.
EVSE doesn't supply energy (no power).
EVSE can also detect hardware faults, disconnecting the power and preventing battery damage, electrical shorts and fire.
See the Metrel Overview video below which gives shows how easy it is to conduct ESVE tests using the A-1532 and the InstalTest installation testers.
InstalTest XC or XD Auto-Sequences
Metrel's Auto-Sequences combine a single tests into single key press operation and indicate Pass/Fail with a green tick or red cross.
The dedicated ESVE auto-sequences also ensure that users are carrying our the required tests in the correct order.
