This function presents different resistance values to the charger&#8217;s proximity detection circuit, each corresponding to a specific amperage limit.<\/p><p>The charger should adjust its maximum output current to match whatever the proximity pilot indicates. A charger that ignores this signal \u2014 or reads it incorrectly \u2014 risks overcurrent conditions in the charging cable. It happens more often than the industry likes to admit, particularly with budget chargers where corners get cut in firmware development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9ce0f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9ce0f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u0427\u0410\u0421\u0422\u041e \u0417\u0410\u0414\u0410\u0412\u0410\u0415\u041c\u042b\u0415 \u0412\u041e\u041f\u0420\u041e\u0421\u042b<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-243f549 elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"243f549\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;expanded&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"\u0410\u043a\u043a\u043e\u0440\u0434\u0435\u043e\u043d. \u041e\u0442\u043a\u0440\u044b\u0432\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0435 \u0441\u0441\u044b\u043b\u043a\u0438 \u0441 \u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0449\u044c\u044e Enter \u0438\u043b\u0438 Space, \u0437\u0430\u043a\u0440\u044b\u0432\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0435 \u0441 \u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0449\u044c\u044e Escape, \u0430 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043c\u0435\u0449\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0435\u0441\u044c \u0441 \u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0449\u044c\u044e \u043a\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0448 \u0441\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0435\u043b\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-3800\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" open>\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"1\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-3800\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Can an EV charger test kit test DC fast chargers? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-3800\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75ecfd2 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"75ecfd2\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02f2c78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"02f2c78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Most standard EV charger test kit packages focus on AC charging verification \u2014 Mode 2 and Mode 3 installations using Type 1 or Type 2 connectors.
