This adapterKEW8602, simulating an EV (Electric Vehicle), can beused for interfacing the EV charge stations, commonly named EVSE(Electric Vehicle Service Equipment), and performs operation checkand electrical safety tests of EVSE.
In combination with a Multi-Function tester (not included), this adapter
also allows to carry out various electrical installation safety tests fromthe EVSE socket.
KEW 8602 can test EVSE with TYPE 2 plug. When you test EVSE with
TYPE 1 plug, optional adapter (KEW 8603) is required.

5.1Connection
Connect EVSE connection plug of KEW 8602 to an EVSE to be tested(with or without cable as the following examples).

Fig.5-1

5.2 Pre-Test
After connected with the EVSE under test, touch the touch pad (4)with a bear finger. Normally the PE conductor is connected to groundand has no voltage to ground. If a dangerous high voltage is present
at the PE conductor, Pre-Test warning LED (4) lights up. In such acase, stop further testing immediately and check the wiring
connections. (e.g.: The PE conductor isn't connected to ground or isconnected to phase by mistake.)* Pre-Test must be conducted prior to other tests.
* Touch the touch pad with a bare finger. Do not wear insulated
gloves.
Ensure a proper connection to the ground (though your shoes),
otherwise, warning indication with (4) Pre-Test warning LED may not
be reliable.

5.3CP (Control Pilot) state check
Switch the CP state selector (6) to simulate various vehicle state (A/B/C/D) and check the behavior of EVSE.

Fig.5-3

1) Set the CP state selector (6) to position “A” (car not connected)
and connect KEW 8602 to EVSE.
2) T urn and set the CP state selector (6) to position “B” (carconnected).
(The EVSE under test may require payment information.)
3) Turn and set the CP state selector (6) to position “C” (carcharging) or “D” (car charging with ventilation).
Confirm that EVSE is ready for charging.
The phase indicators are LEDs, one LED for each phase. Whenphase voltages are present at the EVSE, the LED indicators willlight up.
* LED L1 lights up when testing a single-phase circuit and LEDs
L1/ L2/ L3 light up for a three-phase circuit.
* In the case where the circuit under test doesn’t have a neutral
wire, no LED light up.
* If the EVSE isn’t ready for charging, turn the CP selector (6) to“A” and wait for a few minutes. Then turn the CP selector (6) toposition C or D.

Type A or Type FRCDs, and a residual direct current detecting
device (RDC-DD) complying with IEC 62955.)

If sticking auxiliary earth spikes into ground is impossible, asimplified earth testing method with 2-wire can be performed by
KEW 6516/ 6516BT using the neutral conductor of the power
supply. Select EARTH range to perform 2-wire test. See a possible
example of Earth resistance test with 2-wire method:

KEW 6516/6516BT

Fig.5-16— 17 —

# Safety Warnings for 3-wire and 2-wire Earth resistance tests.
-As the main earth conductor has to be temporarily disconnected (justfor the earth test), to avoid possible risk of electric shock always use
safety glows and switch OFF the power supply prior to disconnect themain earth conductor.
The power supply should only be restored after having reconnected
the main earth conductor.
-Before connecting the instrument be sure there is not any dangerous
voltage between the neutral conductor and the PE (for 2-wire methodonly).
-Please be sure such 2-wire method is accepted by your local
authorities and electrical installation testing Standard.
