The Megger EV Test Kit 1 comes complete with a Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Electrical Installation Tester and a Megger EVCA210-UK Electrical Vehicle Charger Adaptor. This MFT is the upgraded version of the 1741 model and an ideal all-in-one solution fully capable of automatically testing 6mA DC RCDs alongside testing electric vehicle charging stations (EVSE), all in compliance with the IET 18th edition. The EVCA210-UK Adaptor is a compact instrument with a wide array of functions for thoroughly testing Mode 3 AC Electric Vehicle charge points be they single or three phase EV charging stations.
Megger MFT1741+ Multifunction Tester Features
The Megger MFT1741+ provides an array of professional quality testing tools including advanced loop testing technology for extremely accurate anti-trip loop test measurements. It provides continuously stable measurements by both detecting and compensating for interference typically caused by electrical noise and harmonics. This reliability is reinforced by the included 'Confidence Meter' which not only proves the loop test results but lessens the need for repeat tests. With a backlit LCD screen available in both analogue and digital formats, the MFT1741+ overcomes the predictable problem of experiencing high loop impedance readings when conducting a test in a circuit protected by a RCD. Built in technology automatically removes the effects caused by the usual resistance of the coil within the RCD.
Featuring two colour-coded rotary dials, an internal memory and Bluetooth connectivity, the IP54 rated Megger MFT1741+ can perform a full range of tests for new and existing electrical installations. For 'dead testing', continuity can be measured, insulation resistance tested and earth resistance measured including stakeless and ART methods of testing. Alternatively, for 'live testing' the MFT is capable of line to line, 2 and 3 wire tests in addition to testing AC, A, S, B type DC current/high frequency RCDs and measuring phase sequence for three phase systems.
Megger EVCA210-UK Electric Vehicle Charge Point Adaptor Features
The Megger EVCA210-UK Electric Vehicle Charge Point Adaptor is built to simulate the connection between an electrical vehicle and a charging point currently under test. Supplied with both Type 1 plugs for charging points with fixed cables & vehicle connectors and Type 2 plugs for fixed cables with vehicle connectors or charging points featuring panel mounted socket outlets. The adaptor, with its intuitive tactile interface can determine if dangerous voltages are present on the PE.
Incorporated into the design of the EVCA210-UK adaptor, front mounted mains sockets and 4mm connection ports (L1, L2, L3, N and PE) are for performing measurements on live conductors whilst the two additional CP signal thermals are so an engineer can measure CP signal via an oscilloscope. This lightweight IP54 rated instrument includes a PE pre-test button feature, a CP Error "E" simulation imitating an error on the control pilot circuit and a PE Error simulation (Earth Fault) representing a disconnect of the PE circuit. In full accordance with IEC/EN 61851-1 & IEC/HD 60364-7-722 regulations and Low Voltage Directive LVD 2014/35, the adaptor's rotary dial alternates between Proximity Pilot (PP) State simulation and Control Pilot (CP) state simulation. Both tests ensure correct disconnection of the output of the charge point under examination.
