Connecting an EV Charger using Power Line Communication
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- Most electric vehicle chargers need a connection to the internet and especially those installed in shared car parks. The data connection enables billing systems, management of charge point users and remote diagnostics.
The Zaptec Pro EV charger is unique. It's the only charger we know which enables an internet connection using power line communication (PLC). In this video, we show how simple it is to set up a PLC data connections over our existing mains voltage wiring.
We also demonstrate how to manage users via the Zaptec portal and RFID tags using the Zaptec smartphone app.

Zaptec Pro - Electric vehicle charger
hub.efixx.co.uk/Zaptec-pro
Fantastic video guy’s, all very clever and interesting stuff, but it is beyond me , all theses apps and bits and bobs it’s ok till your Wi-Fi goes down or keeps buffering . I’ll just leave it to those who who like that stuff. Fantastic video as always guy’s 👍👍❤️
Another great video guys. Well explained as usual. Thank you!!
Good video guys and this option might be usefull to some. The only problem with these powerline adapters in a "commercial" installation is if their is alot of inductive loads on the board, riser or sub DB these chargers feed off, it causes alot of comms issues on the "powerline network" and may cause Electricians to spend hours looking for a fault when actually its at the source.
Sorry one thing for everyone to be aware of, when putting data down powerline do not use a 4 way bar adapter (or similar). They will not work either correctly or at all. Please don't ask me why, I'm sure someone with more brains can explain but I do know that when these are used data will not pass through. I was in a house a number of months ago and was asked to fit another socket to allow a powerline adapter to work (they were using a powerline adapter). I rejigged the existing arrangement and got everything to work perfectly. Saved a pile of time, money and mess.
They are called "power strips" in North America and they have built-in power surge protection electronics that may filter out data signals.
Hey! I have a case, i have a garage installation with around 12 cars divided between 3 circuits. Would i need 1 PLC for each of the circuits or would 1 do for the whole installation? And does it matter where i Connect the PLC? It’s under 90 meters the whole installation
Would the same applies for DC charging? Instead of transmitting message on the AC line, will it happen on the DC line?
Hi, great video. Theoretically, would it be possible to send analogue audio/video from one room to another using the wiring in your home? Say a VHS video camera to a CRT television in another?
In theory yes, but the audio frequencies would probably be susceptible to the harmonic frequencies already on the mains wiring.
Good video. i am engineering a site with 53 charge point positions. What is the range of the Zaptec PLC communication? Will a charge point connect via PLC over 120 m of cable?
We do recommmend maximum 90 meters.
So, someone dropped their phone down a chemical toilet? And now every time this video is watched, it shall be remembered, and a damned good piss taking will be served!🤣🎴🚽🧻🚻🚾🤦♂️
The problem with the powerline stuff is basically your wire's become a giant jack off antenna. Been using homeplug/powerline for a number of years now and while it works and tends to be better then Wi-Fi you never get the headline speed, ever.
Yes but when do you need that?
You don’t get the headline speed with WiFi either.
Not wrong, but it's all about the appropriate tool for the job; EoP is great for things that have to be connected to a supply and throughput/latency aren't critical. Having a comms over power protocol for IoT (similar to Zwave or Zigbee) would be really useful for smarthome devices to keep that isolated from normal ethernet/internet traffic; the majority of consumers aren't technically minded so will take the path of least resistance and put their IoT devices on the same segment as their normal data. I was wondering how it would work with a 3phase install- the icing on the cake for the charger would be to allow the installer to select which phase to use for EoP/PowerLine/HomePlug (using the PLC acronym collides with Programmable Logic Controllers, TRIGGERED).
@@cheeseburgerbeefcake if you want PoE over multiple phases there are units you can connect between phases for that.
They’re more or less just three caps over three phases, IIRC. If you have one or more three phase devices on a nice long cable, the capacitive coupling in that cable should do the job.
I found they caused AFDDs to trip
Don’t do that if you have an MG then.
Sorry lads these systems are inherently insecure, you can't grantee the signal doesn't leave the building.
Also don't show your keys.......
