The Seaward Group has introduced a new diagnostic tool for validation and fault finding on all types of EV charging and supply equipment.

The handheld EV110 tester can perform a number of tests to ensure that a charger is operating correctly and safely, in accordance with the SAE J1772 standard.

The lightweight, handheld EV110 simulates all the most commonly used charging cable ratings. It tests output voltage, maximum available charging current, ground loop impedance and GFCI trip time. It also simulates a number of vehicle faults and measures the EVSE response, including disconnection time and the amplitude, frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal.

Detailed diagnostic data can be transferred to an Android app using NFC wireless communications and sent to a specialist engineer or head office location for remote fault diagnosis.
