System of the Month October 2025: EVCA testing according to IEC 61851-23 Annex CC
A returning DC charger manufacturer expands its EVCA test infrastructure with electrical fault tests and a separate compact power source for protocol testing.

Project configuration
- Returning DC charger manufacturer
- High-power EVCA test upgrade
- IEC 61851-23 fault-test functions
- Separate 5 kW source for the existing bench
Extending established validation
As charging systems and validation tasks evolved, the manufacturer needed to expand the test capabilities of its existing infrastructure.
High-power testing and protocol work
The upgrade adds high-power EVCA testing and electrical fault-test functions according to IEC 61851-23 Annex CC. A separate 5 kW source supplies the existing protocol bench.
Two setups for distinct test tasks
High-power validation uses the upgraded EVCA installation. The separate source supplies the existing protocol bench with 5 kW.
