BASEC AT EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE UK 2022
BASEC is speaking at the EV Charging Infrastructure UK 2022 Exhibition & Conference on 27 – 28 June 2022 at ExCeL, London, UK.
The topic of the presentation covered by BASEC - 'EV Charging Cable Infrastructure – Standards, Testing, Certification and Approvals.' The speaker, Jaya Skandamoorthy, Regional Technical Manager - UK & Europe, will talk about critical considerations relating to EV charging cables.
Key points include:
- Most common causes of EV charging cable failures
- Technical performance requirements for EV charging cables
- Minimum performance requirements for EV charging cables
- Enhanced performance requirements to withstand extreme weather events and climate change adaption
- International Standards for EV charging cables:
- IEC / EN 61851-1 – which covers the different types of cables for different charging modes
- IEC 62893 series – which covers the general requirements for construction, dimensions and test requirements for cables with extruded insulation and sheath up to and including 600/1000 V and 1500V DC
- EN 50620 – which specifies design, dimensions and test requirements for halogen-free cables with extruded insulation and sheath for EV charging application
- Difference between Type Testing and Product Approval; and quality assurance certification schemes for EV charging cables
- Innovations in EV charging cables:
- New materials and compounds
- New construction types, forms and modes
- Smart power distribution and intelligent EV charging hub cable network
