Vtiči, vtičnice, konektorji in uvodnice na vozilih - Kabelsko napajanje električnih vozil - 2. del: Zahteve za dimenzijsko skladnost in zamenljivost pribora s trni in cevastimi kontakti za izmenični tok (a.c.) (IEC 62196-2:2011)

Ta standard se uporablja za vtiče, vtičnice, konektorje in uvodnice na vozilih s trni in cevastimi kontakti standardiziranih oblik (v nadaljnjem besedilu: »priključki«). Njihova nominalna nazivna obratovalna napetost je manjša od 500 V izmenične napetosti, nazivni tok pa manjši od 63 A pri treh fazah ali 70 A pri eni fazi za uporabo pri sistemih za kabelsko napajanje električnih vozil. Ta standard zajema osnovne vmesniške priključke za napajanje vozil, ki so določeni v standardu IEC 62196-1 in namenjeni za uporabo v sistemih za kabelsko napajanje za tokokroge iz standarda IEC 61851-1:2010. Izraz »električna vozila« se nanaša na vsa cestna vozila, vključno z hibridnimi cestnimi vozili z možnostjo napajanja prek navadne vtičnice (PHEV), ki vso energijo ali njen del pridobijo iz akumulatorjev v vozilu. Ti priključki so namenjeni za uporabo pri tokokrogih, navedenih v standardu IEC 61851-1:2010, ki delujejo pri različnih napetostih in frekvencah in lahko vključujejo malo napetost (ELV) in komunikacijske signale. Ti priključki se lahko uporabljajo za dvosmerni prenos energije (v obravnavi). Ta standard se uporablja za priključke, ki so namenjeni uporabi pri temperaturi okolja, in sicer med –30 °C in + 50 °C. Ti priključki se lahko priključijo samo na kable z vodniki iz bakra ali bakrene zlitine. Konektorji in uvodnice na vozilih iz tega standarda se lahko uporabljajo pri napajanju v načinu 1, 2 in 3, primera B in C. Vtičnice in vtiči iz tega standarda se lahko uporabljajo samo pri načinu napajanja 3, primera A in B. Načini in dovoljeni priključki so navedeni v 1. delu.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62196-2 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 23H: Industrial
plugs and socket-outlets, of IEC technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.

INTRODUCTION
Responding to global challenges of CO reduction and energy security, the automobile
2
industries have been accelerating the development and commercialization of electric vehicles
and hybrid electric vehicles. In addition to the prevailing hybrid electric vehicles, battery
electric vehicles including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are going to be mass-marketed. To
support the diffusion of such vehicles, this standard provides the standard interface
configurations of a.c. vehicle couplers and accessories to be used in conductive charging of
electric vehicles, taking the most frequent charging situations into consideration.
IEC 62196 is divided into several parts:
Part 1: General requirements
Part 2: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for a.c. pin and contact-
tube accessories
Part 3: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for pin and contact-tube
accessories for dedicated d.c. charging or for combined a.c./d.c.charging (under
consideration)
