For the Charging Two EVs on One EVSE project, I will need a Vehicle Inlet ‘Male’ type EV charging connector for the upstream supply from the existing EVSE. And two EVSE ‘Female’ type EV connectors to allow for connection to the downstream vehicles, Since we are in the UK I […]

An EV emulator or EVSE test box is a device that you can use to test EVSE equipment. it allows you to change between different charge states and cable configurations. It will also allow you to draw current from EVSE equipment, as well as offering through normal valid states, An […]
One of the standard tests for EMC testing is ESD Testing, It is one of the tests worth doing first, so if you fail this test, you haven’t spent all that much time or money on testing. In most cases, you will be looking at “IEC 61000-4-2: Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) […]
If I were to advise someone just starting in the field of EMC today, the advice I would give them would depend on what field they wanted to go into and their background. I didn’t plan to go into EMC testing or Engineering. I started at CASS Industries in 2014 […]
When I was working for ARRIVAL, setting up the Automotive EMC lab there, I needed an ISO 10605 Annex F island as part of the ESD test setup. This test setup is as far as I am aware unique to Automotive, and as such commercial EMC Technicians and Engineers are […]
On the 1st of August 2023 UK Government announced an indefinite extension to CE marking, the UK Government has stated that it intends to continue recognition of the CE mark indefinitely for most goods being placed on the market in Great Britain; this is a statement which revokes the previous […]
The main communications between Level 1 and 2 EVSE (Modes 2 and 3 and sometimes 4) and Electric Vehicles is via the Proximity Pilot and Control Pilot lines on the connectors. Level 1 (Mode 2) is portable charging equipment like an “In Cable Control Box” (ICCB) (commonly referred to as […]
Following my post about Different EV Connectors, it’s time to cover the process of charging an EV (Electric Vehicle) or PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid EV). Most people will want to charge their EV at home, with charging their EV at work, or when out and about being secondary to charging overnight […]
Ohm’s law (sometimes written as Ohm law or Ohms law) is one of the fundamental first principles of electronics. The law was named after the German physicist Georg Ohm and states that the electric current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two […]
I would consider handing a candidate in the UK a BS 1363 Plug, a length of flex, and an appropriate selection of tools and asking them to wire the plug, and then present the finished task. This quick interview task would allow you to see a candidate’s ability to ask […]
Around the world, there are a variety of different EV charging connector types used on Battery electronic vehicles (BEV) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV). The use of EV Connectors tends to be split into geographical regions, with different connectors being concentrated in each geographical region. EV charging connector types […]
For some reason a list of links to other peoples blogs is called a blogroll (I am not sure if links to sites made in software that is not blogging software is also a blogroll, but YMMV)… so here is my PiWars blogroll. Since I got accepted as a backup […]
