The FEV300 Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Adapter from Fluke is designed to simulate an electric vehicle for
AC charging Mode 3 with connector types 1 and 2, allowing the output of an Electric Vehicle Charging Station to be efficiently and safely tested. Instrumentation Monthly caught up with Fluke’s application and technology expert Hans-Dieter Schuessele to find out more about the new product.
equipment tools and software, recently launched the new FEV300 Electric Vehicle Charging Station Adapter for electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS). Designed to simulate an electric vehicle attached to the EVCS, the user- friendly tool allows for the output voltage of an AC charging station Mode 3 with connector types 1 and 2 to be safely and accurately tested in accordance with IEC/HD 60364- 7-722 and IEC/EN 61851-1.

GROWTH OF E-MOBILITY There are approximately 20 million electric vehicles on the road today globally, according to Bloomberg’s Annual Electrical Vehicle Outlook
luke, a global technology leader in the manufacture of compact, professional electronic test and measurement
2022. With rising fuel prices and new fuel economy regulations in many countries, the adoption of electric vehicles as alternatives to fuel-powered vehicles is expected to rise dramatically. Bloomberg suggests electric vehicle share of new vehicle sales market will grow to between 40 and 50 per cent in the UK, France and Germany by 2025. EVCS are critical to reducing
the charging time for vehicles. A typical, compact vehicle can
take between 24 and 36 hours to charge from a domestic mains supply. An EVCS provides one or three phase supply with a mains voltage at 230 volts or 400 volts, charging electric vehicles much faster. For safety, communication between the charging station and the connected electric vehicle must occur before an output voltage is delivered. Adapters, such as the new-to-market FEV300 Adapter from Fluke, are critical pieces of
