EV CHARGER TEST ADAPTERS, WHY you need one & HOW they work - METREL A1532XA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- An EV charger test adapter is essential for any electrician who's serious about installing EV charge points.
The EV tester adapter will simulate the presence of a car and mimic various charging states and simulate faults.
In this video, we look at the Metrel A1532 and the newly introduced A1532XA version. Along the way, we explore the PP and CP knobs and how type 2 charging cables work.

very informative and helpful, thankyou
Nice video, as for future content, a how to accurately estimate total demand of an existing installation when surveying for an EV charge point would be good
We are working on this 👍
Hi, u were talking about measuring the Rlow of the cable. Do u have a table with the acceptable range for all the different charging cables?
Super video as ever!! What happens if you select the incorrect setting for capacity the lead and then carry out the test? Cheers
EXCELLENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY THANKYOU VERY MUCH.
So… does one have to purchase a brand new mft or will my 1721 linked up with the adapter work on? Apart from the 6mA dc test
And how long before they start fitting resistors on to cheaper cables to fool the charger in to thinking it's a more capable cable?
Fair point - buyer beware
The standard is designed actually so as you add more resistance the rated current goes down. Also means if you have a poor contact on the sense connection, the charger in theory should reduce the charge current capacity down
Sorry not EV related, but can you help
I’m an electrician and just installed a Hot Tub @ a domestic dwelling, we’ve done an Installation Certificate but can’t find the period between the install & Condition report test in the Regs.
I’ve put down five years?
Cheers guys, great videos 👍
Nice video. How about tackling the 6mA DC RCD test that is causing so many problems. To be fair Metrel is pretty close after their latest firmware update but even they are not 100% yet.
Fluke, my brand of choice, say maybe by the end of the year they will bring something to market (don't hold your breath), Megger do a ramp test for the DC and so nearly always return a value higher than 6mA even when the RDC-DD/Type B is working just fine.
We all now know the dangers of DC leaking back into the coils of RCD's (slow or even no tripping) and so the standards set out in IEC 62955 are very important but we lack the test equipment to consistently verify compliance.
As installers what do we do?
We are on the case just finalising a date to get everyone round the table.
Great Tester - but, whilst these testers check the chargers with varying test parameters, what about the Type2 cable itself - does the cable need periodic testing and if yes, how can this be done?
Hi all, great video as always, can I ask where you found the wiring diagram of the cp & pp connection, this would be great to use in training for our engineers to gain a better understanding of how these pilot connections work
I we made the simplified version ping us an email and we’ll send over - admin@efixx.co.Uk
Top video boys, very informative👍👍 do you have a list of resistance values (between pp and e) for the different ratings of leads?
I’ll dig them out and post in the description- give me a day or so *Gordon
Just done the course so have to hand.
13A - 1.5 kΩ
20A - 680 Ω
32A - 220 Ω
63A 100 Ω
No connection is open circuit
Fault is short circuit
Where can I find Metrel Testing kit and Simulator?
Can this adapter be used with the megger EV multifunction tester? All the megger branded ones have been recalled
It will work with any tester
@@efixx great thanks for that!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to test tethered chargers (i.e. the Type 2 cable permanently attached to the charger)?
Can this test O-PEN fault detection functionality? im begining to think that it is not possible.
No that happens underground in the street
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
i like metrel but they dont have a good supply network which is a worry for such a expensive machine , dont know why they dont supply direct
Great product the A1532XA, shame it doesn't come with a manufacturer's warranty
And testing tethered EVSEs? Do you need to make a jerry rigged F-F lead?
No plugs in to the end of the tethered lead
Such useful content and just 250 likes, what's going on with all the elections
Correct me if I am wrong but as I understand the “charger” is integral part of the car. The charge point is only a power supply to the charger in the car.
Electricians need to be aware that your multifunction tester band and EVSE test adaptor need not be the same brand.

EV testing facilities should be integral to all modern testers, all these plug in adapters are just manufacturers playing catchup and charging us for it. All those prompt screens, if you don't know what tests you need to do maybe you shouldn't be doing them!
I agree the Metrel is overcomplicated/unnecessary and I don't like the build quality one bit. The unit looks and feels like a toy not a professional tool.
That said, Metrel are the only ones who can complete all the test correctly. Fluke haven't addressed the EV test and the Megger 1741+ that is supposed to address the EV test doesn't do it. Like I said, the adapters are not the problem, the fact that we cannot properly test our installs is most definitely a problem.
These guys say they are about to address the issue with the problematic 6mA DC test, it will be an interesting video and I dare say lively in the comments.
welp! theres another £50 added on to the ev jobs. by this rate no one will want a professional job.
Great video really like the knowledge but the little dude needs to lay off the cocain and chill out .
