Chauvin Arnoux CA6652 EV Charging Station Adaptor
The Chauvin Arnoux CA6652 EV Charging Station Adaptor is designed for Type 2 AC electric vehicle charging stations. It complies with IEC 62196-2 and IEC 61851-1 standards. Its compact build makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor use, as long as it is not exposed to rain. The adaptor offers clear indicators that help guide each test. Its stable operation supports quick diagnostics for both BEVs and PHEVs. This allows engineers to confirm the behaviour of EVSE systems with confidence during routine checks or commissioning work.
Charging Status Simulation
Technicians are able to simulate various vehicle charging statuses (A, B, C, D) using the Control Pilot (CP) signal and configure cable load conditions via the Proximity Pilot (PP), supporting maximum permissible currents of 13A, 20A, 32A and 63A. The CA6652 also features illuminated indicators for single-phase and three-phase voltages, as well as a conductive button that detects hazardous voltage on the protective earth (PE) conductor. These functions help streamline day-to-day testing across a wide range of installation types.
Fault Replication and System Verification
The CA6652 includes a fault simulation button that allows engineers to replicate potential anomalies such as CP-PE short-circuits, diode faults and PE disconnections between the electric vehicle and the charging system. This capability is essential for assessing system resilience and ensuring regulatory compliance. It also assists in training environments, where users can safely observe how EVSE systems respond to real-world fault conditions.
Enhanced Practical Use
When combined with compatible Chauvin Arnoux instruments, the adaptor supports more detailed analysis of CP signal behaviour, making it useful for deeper diagnostic tasks. Its durable enclosure and straightforward controls make it suitable for installers, inspectors and educators who require a reliable tool for regular EVSE evaluation.
