Point detail

Charging station / Power mains

The charging station may be placed either in the test site or outside the test site.
If the local/private communication between the vehicle and the charging station can be simulated, the charging station may be replaced by a supply from the AC power mains network.
In both cases power mains and communication or signal lines socket(s) shall be placed in the test site with the following conditions:
-    The socket(s) shall be placed on the ground plane (ALSE) or floor (OTS);
-   The length of the harness between the power mains / local/private communication socket and the AMN(s) / DC-charging-AN(s) / AAN(s) shall be kept as short as possible, but not necessarily aligned with the charging harness;
-    The harness between the power mains / local/private communication socket and the AMN(s) / DC-charging-AN(s) / AAN(s) shall be placed as close as possible of the ground plane (ALSE) or floor (OTS).
If the charging station is placed inside the test site then the harness between the charging station and the power mains / local/private communication socket shall satisfy the following conditions:
-    The harness at charging station side shall hang vertically down to the ground plane (ALSE) or floor (OTS);
-   The extraneous length shall be placed as close as possible to the ground plane (ALSE) or floor (OTS) and “Z-folded” if necessary. If it is impractical to do so because of cable bulk or stiffness, or because the testing is being done at a user installation, the disposition of the excess cable shall be precisely noted in the test report;

The charging station should be placed outside the beamwidth of the receiving antenna.

Artificial network
AC power mains shall be applied to the vehicle through 50 µH/50 W AMN(s) (see Appendix 8, clause 4).
DC power mains shall be applied to the vehicle through 5 µH/50 W High Voltage Artificial Networks (DC-charging-AN(s)) (see Appendix 8, clause 3).
The AMN(s) / DC-charging-AN(s) shall be mounted directly on the ground plane (ALSE) or floor (OTS). The cases of the AMN(s) / DC-charging-AN(s) shall be bonded to the ground plane (ALSE) or connected to the protective earth (OTS, e.g. an earth rod).
The measuring port of each AMN / DC-charging-AN shall be terminated with a 50 W load.
