EN 50696:2021

Contact Interface for Automated Connection Device

This document is applicable to ACDs of standardized configuration, intended for use in electric vehicle conductive charging systems which incorporate control means, with rated operating voltage up to 1 500 V DC. This document applies to high power DC interfaces intended for use in isolated conductive charging systems, for circuits specified in IEC 61851 23 1:—1. The ACDs covered by this document are used only in charging mode 4, according to IEC 61851 23 1:—1, 3.1.201 Case D or 3.1.202 Case E. This document describes the requirements for an ACD in regard of safety, function and testing. This document describes basic parameters that can be standardized for different ACDs. ACDs following these standardized parameters will have the benefit of being compatible, even if they are based on different technologies. This document does not apply to solutions based on a vehicle connector described in EN 62196 3 driven by an automated mechanism, as, for instance, a robotic arm. This document does not cover all safety aspects related to maintenance.

Interface de contact pour les dispositifs de connexion automatique

Le présent document s’applique aux ACD de configuration normalisée, destinés à être utilisés dans les systèmes de charge conductifs des véhicules électriques qui intègrent des moyens de contrôle, dont la tension d’emploi assignée peut atteindre 1 500 V en courant continu. Le présent document s’applique aux interfaces en courant continu de puissance élevée, destinées à être utilisées dans les systèmes de charge conductifs isolés, pour les circuits spécifiés dans l’IEC 61851 23 1:—1. Les ACD relevant du domaine d’application du présent document sont utilisés uniquement dans le mode de charge 4, conformément à l’IEC 61851 23 1:—1, paragraphe 3.1.201 (cas D) ou 3.1.202 (cas E). Le présent document décrit les exigences relatives à un ACD concernant la sécurité, les fonctionnalités et les essais. Le présent document décrit le paramétrage de base pouvant être normalisé pour les différents ACD. Les ACD respectant ces paramètres normalisés présentent l’avantage d’être compatibles entre eux, même s’ils s’appuient sur des technologies différentes. Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux solutions basées sur une prise mobile de véhicule, décrite dans l’EN 62196 3, entraînée par un mécanisme automatisé, par exemple un bras robotisé. Le présent document ne couvre pas tous les aspects de sécurité relatifs à la maintenance.
