IEC 62196-3 6500A High Current EV Connector Temperature Rise Test System
This advanced test system is designed in compliance with IEC 62196-1 Ed.4 CDV 2020 (clause 12.3, clause 24, table 10, clause 34.2, 34.4, and 35.4), IEC 62196-2, IEC 62196-3, and other relevant standards.
The 6500A High Current EV Connector Temperature Rise Test System is designed for evaluating thermal performance of electric vehicle charging connectors under high current conditions.
The system applies controlled current up to 6500A and measures temperature changes at terminals, contacts and conductive parts to verify EV charging interface safety and reliability.
It is suitable for EV plug, socket outlet and vehicle connector testing according to IEC 62196 requirements.
Equipped with proprietary software and computer control, the system enables fully automated test execution and data analysis. Its intuitive operation and precise performance provide an efficient solution for temperature rise assessment and compliance verification of electric vehicle charging interfaces and related components.
