Connectors varies by reglon, by charging current and also by car manufacturer
AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) are two types of electrical current:
AC (Alternating Currentl:) Ac is an electic curent thatreverses direction perodicaly. The vollage and curent in an Ac circut vary over time, changing direcion from posilive to neoative. AC is commonly used in homes and induslries because it can be easily transfomed using lransformers, making it suilable for long-distance distribution.
DC (Direct currentl:) Dc is an elecic curent that lows in one direction. The volage and curen in a bc crcut remain conslantin temms of dieclon.Dc is lypically provided by balteries and is used in many electronic devices and automotive applicaions due to its stable nalure.
Method for connection of an EV to the supply network to supply energy to the vehicle
Mode 1 is a method for the conneclion of an Ev to a slamdard socket-oullet of an AC supply network, utilizing a cable and plug, both of whichare not fitted with any supplementary pilot or auxiliary contacts.
Mode 2 is a method for the connection of an Ev to a standard socket-outlet of an AC supply network utilizing an AC EV supply equipmentwith a cable and plug, with a control pllot function and system forpersonal prolection against electric shock placed between the standardplug and the Ev.
Mode 3 is a method for the connection of an EV to an AC EV supply equipmentperanently connected to an AC supply network, with a control pilot funclionthat extends from the AC Ey supply equipment to the Ev.
Mode 4 is a method for the connection of an Ey to an AC or DC supply networkutilizing a DC EV supply equipment, with a conirel pilot function that extendsfrom the DC Ev supply equipment to the Ev.
Connection of an EV to the supply network with a plug and cable permanently attached to the EV
Note 1 to entry: The cable assembly is part of the vehicle
Connection of an EV to a supply network with a cable assembly detachable at both ends
Note 1 to entry: The detachable cable assembly is not part of the vehicle or the charging station.
Connection of an EV to a supply network utilizing a cable and vehice connector permanentlyattached to the EV charging station.
Note 1 to entry: The cable assembly is part of the EV charging station.
The current mainstream EV's on the markethave battery capacities ranging from 60 to100 k'Wvh. The time required for charging withtheir chargers varies depending on the vehiclemodel and the remaining battery level.
For example, Using our 32A wallboxCharging Station, the Tesla Model 3 StandardRange, with ils 62.3 kWh batlery capacity and272-mile range, can be charged from 0% to100% in about 8 hours.
Nole: To ensure complance wih American electlical standards,it is important to select appropriale plugs and sockets based on the oulput currentof the chargingequipment. lf the oulput current exceeds 40A, it is advisable to use a hard-wired connection for enhanced safety and reliablity.
Three-phase AC power consists of three alternating currents with the same frequency.equal amplitude, and phases that are 120" apart. The voltage between any two phases.such as UAB, Uec, and UcA, is known as the line voltage, typically 400V in Europe and208V in the United States. However, in everyday life, single-phase power, also known aslighting power, is more common, When powering equipment with single-phase electricityfrom a three-phase system, one of the phases, with voltages like UA, Ue, and Uc, is used.The phase-to-ground voltage varies by region; in Europe, it is typically 230V, while in theUnited States, it is 120V.
The formula for calculating power in a three-phase electricalsystem is
