Portable EVSE Tester – Charging Station Tester (Type 1 & Type 2)
The Portable EVSE Tester is a comprehensive solution for the safety and functional testing of AC Electric Vehicle charging stations. Designed for technicians and installers, this all-in-one tool simulates various vehicle states to ensure charging points (Type 1 and Type 2) are operating correctly, safely, and in accordance with international standards.
Whether you are performing routine maintenance, troubleshooting a faulty station, or conducting final installation inspections, this rugged, handheld simulator provides immediate feedback on CP (Control Pilot) and PP (Proximity Pilot) states, leakage protection, and wiring integrity.
Key Features of Portable EVSE Tester (Type 1 & Type 2)
- Complete Control Pilot (CP) Analysis: The Portable EVSE tester allows technicians to cycle through Control Pilot manually to verify that the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) responds correctly. By switching between states A through D, you can verify if the station correctly locks the cable and initiates the charging sequence.
- Proximity Pilot (PP) Simulation: Verify that the charging station correctly detects the current-carrying capacity of the charging cable. The rotary switch allows for simulation of various cable ratings (13A to 63A) to ensure the station limits current as required.
- Safety & Error Testing: Simulate a "Diode Short" or a "CP Error E" to confirm the charging station immediately shuts down power. This is a critical safety test to ensure the EVSE will protect a vehicle's onboard charger in the event of a component failure.
Why Choose Portable EVSE Tester (Type 1 & Type 2)
Unlike basic multimeters, this specialized simulator interacts with the charging station’s internal logic. It eliminates the need to bring an actual Electric Vehicle to a site to verify a new installation, saving time, reducing costs, and ensuring that every station you install is safe for public or private use.
Compatibilité universelle
Supports both Type 1 (SAE J1772) and Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) charging interfaces.
Vehicle State Simulation
Easily simulate vehicle states: A (Disconnected), B (Connected), C (Charging), and D (Charging with Ventilation).
Safety First
Includes a PE (Protective Earth) pre-test and error simulation (CP Error "E" and Diode Short) to ensure the station reacts correctly to fault conditions.
Leakage & RCD Testing
Built-in capability to test RCD/GFCI trip functionality to ensure user safety against electrical shock.
Real-time Feedback
Clear digital display provides instant readings of voltage, current, and pilot signal status.
Portable & Rugged
Compact, handheld design with a high-durability housing, perfect for field use in various weather conditions.

FAQ
Q: What types of charging stations can this portable EVSE tester check?
A: This EVSE Tester offers universal compatibility, supporting both major global AC charging standards: Type 1 (SAE J1772, common in North America and Japan) and Type 2 (IEC 62196-2, standard in Europe and many other regions). One tool covers most public, commercial, and residential AC charging points.
Q: What key safety functions does this portable EVSE tester verify?
A: This comprehensive EV charger tester is built for safety validation. It performs critical tests, including:
Protective Earth (PE) Continuity: Checks for a proper ground connection.
RCD/GFCI Trip Testing: Verifies that the station’s residual-current device operates correctly to prevent electric shock.
Fault Simulation: Actively simulates critical errors like a “Diode Short” or “CP Error E” to confirm the station shuts down power immediately as required by safety standards.
Q: Can EVSE Tester test the communication between the charger and a vehicle?
A: Absolutely. This is a core function. The portable EVSE tester simulates all standard Control Pilot (CP) states (A, B, C, D) to verify that the station correctly manages the connection handshake, starts/stops charging, and communicates ventilation requirements. It also simulates Proximity Pilot (PP) signals to test if the station correctly detects and respects the cable’s current rating.
Q: Is this Portable EVSE Tester suitable for field use and harsh environments?
A: Yes. Designed as a portable EVSE Tester, it features a compact, rugged, and handheld design with a durable housing. It is built to withstand the demands of daily field use by technicians in various weather and site conditions.
