Fluke FLK-FEV150/BASIC EV Charging Station Analyzer

Overview

The Fluke FLK-FEV150/BASIC is a comprehensive standalone analyzer designed for testing the safety and performance of AC electrical vehicle charging stations. It simulates the presence of an electric vehicle, allowing technicians to verify the functionality and reliability of charging equipment without requiring an actual vehicle on site. The analyzer is compatible with both Type 1 (SAE J1772) and Tesla connectors in North American markets.

Key Features

• Control Pilot (CP) state simulation — Simulates vehicle charging states (A, B, D) for complete station validation
• PE earth pre-test — Detects dangerous ground voltage before testing begins
• GFCI testing — Validates ground fault protection with 6 mA and 20 mA trip tests
• Fault simulation — Tests system response to PE errors, CP errors, diode shorts, and error conditions
• Voltage measurement — Tests L-N, L-PE, N-PE (0-253V) and L-L (0-440V) with ±(3% + 3 digits) accuracy
• Automatic test plans — Guides technicians through standardized tests with pass/fail indication
• Auto Control Pilot with waveform analysis — Displays on-screen feedback and CP waveform patterns
• Battery powered — Operates on 4 AA batteries for portable field use

Applications

• Initial safety and performance verification of newly installed AC charging stations
• Regular maintenance testing of EV charging equipment
• Troubleshooting and diagnostics of malfunctioning charging stations
• Compliance verification with SAE J1772 standards
• Documentation and recordkeeping of charging station tests
