Introduction
The BENNING EV 3-2 measuring adapter described here (in the following only referred to as
“device”) is an optional accessory for the BENNING IT 130 and IT 200 installation testers. The
BENNING EV 3-2 measuring adapter enables you to perform safety and functional tests on
certain charging stations for electric vehicles (EVSE, electric vehicle supply equipment) in
compliance with DIN VDE 0100-600 (IEC 60364-6) and DIN VDE 0105-100 (EN 50110) using
the corresponding installation tester.
The device is intended for testing charging stations according to DIN EN / IEC 61851-1
(VDE 0122-1) of charging mode “Mode 3” and is provided with a Type 2 connector according to
IEC / EN 62196. The “Mode 3” charging mode is used for 1-phase and 3-phase charging with
alternating current (AC) at permanently installed charging stations (so called “wall boxes”).
The device establishes safe contact with the BENNING installation tester and triggers the
charging process of the charging station by simulating an electric vehicle (EV).

Functions
The device is intended for the following tasks:
• Simulating an electric vehicle (EV) for the charging station
• Providing safe contacting for the installation tester
The simulation of the charging cable and electric vehicle used is done via the rotary switches
“PP-Status/State” and “CP-Status/State” of the device.
Rotary switch “PP-Status/State” for cable simulation
With the rotary switch “PP-Status/State” you can simulate different codings of the charging
cables. The coding describes the maximum permissible current carrying capacity of the
charging cable. By means of the switch position, different resistance values are switched in the
device between the PP and PE contacts.

Rotary switch “CP-Status/State” for vehicle simulation
With the rotary switch “CP-Status/State” you can simulate different vehicle conditions. By means
of the switch position, different resistance values and a diode are switched in the device
between the CP and PE contacts.
The communication signal (CP signal) is intended to control the charging process between the
charging station and the vehicle (EV). For this purpose, the charging station applies a square-
wave signal of 1 kHz to the CP contact of the charging plug. Depending on the operating status,
the PWM (pulse width modulation) signal is loaded differently by the vehicle and its amplitude is
changed.

Procedure
1.
Connect the installation tester to the device via the test socket or the 4 mm test sockets.
2.
Select the desired positions of the rotary switches.
– “PP-Status/State”: switch position “N.C.”
– “CP-Status/State”: switch position “A”
3.
Connect the device to the output of the charging station (EVSE) via the Type 2 connector.
4.
Use the installation tester to perform the prescribed safety tests in a voltage-free condition
at the output of the charging station (EVSE).
5.
Simulate the different charging states using the switch positions of the rotary switches “PP-
Status/State” and “CP-Status/State” and check the feedback from the charging station
(EVSE).
6.
Use the installation tester to perform the prescribed safety tests at the output of the charging
station (EVSE) with the mains voltage being applied. For this, select the desired positions of
the rotary switches at the device.
– “PP-Status/State”: switching position according to the maximum charging current from
13 to 64 A
– “CP-Status/State”: switch position “C” or “D”
7.
Before disconnecting the device from the charging station (EVSE), set the rotary switch
“CP-Status/State” to the switch position “A”.
5.2
Testing with an oscilloscope
You can measure the CP signal of the charging station (EVSE) with an oscilloscope via the
BNC socket of the device.
Via the duty cycle, the charging station (EVSE) gives the electric vehicle (EV) the maximum
current value that can be drawn from the charging station. For further information, refer to
Table A7 of DIN EN 61851-1 (VDE 0122-1).
• D: Duty cycle
• PW: Pulse duration
• T: Period duration
5.2 Testing with an oscilloscope
5178 / 03/2021 en
BENNING EV 3-2
19
Requirements
• Oscilloscope (probe: 10:1, input resistance: 10 MΩ)
• Charging station (EVSE) compatible with the device
NOTE
Oscilloscope
• Using a 1 MΩ input resistor instead of the recommended 10 MΩ will reduce the amplitude of
the CP signal by approx. 17 % compared to the actual value.
• Compensate the oscilloscope and probe for correct signal representations.
• It is recommended to use a portable and battery-operated oscilloscope.
WARNING
Dangerous voltage
Danger to life or serious injury is possible due to contact with high electric voltage. An existing
50 Hz / 60 Hz interfering signal can be suppressed by connecting the 4 mm PE test socket of
the device to the earth connection of the oscilloscope.
• Make sure that there is no dangerous voltage potential at the PE contact of the charging
station (EVSE).
• Use safe accessories.
Procedure
1.
Connect the oscilloscope to the device via the BNC socket.
2.
Select the desired positions of the rotary switches.
– “PP-Status/State”: switch position according to the desired coding of the charging cable
(maximum current carrying capacity)
– “CP-Status/State”: switch position “A”
3.
Connect the device to the output of the charging station (EVSE) via the Type 2 connector.
4.
Simulate the different codings of the charging cables. For this, select the desired positions
of the rotary switches at the device.
– “PP-Status/State”: switch position according to the desired coding of the charging cable
(maximum current carrying capacity)
– “CP-Status/State”: switch position “B” or “C”
5.
Check the waveform and amplitude of the CP signal on the oscilloscope. If necessary,
repeat the test for other codings of the charging cable.
6.
Before disconnecting the device from the charging station (EVSE), set the rotary switch
“CP-Status/State” to the switch position “A”.
