BS EN 62196-2:2017

This part of IEC62196 applies to plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets with pins and contact-tubes of standardized configurations, herein referred to as accessories. They have a nominal rated operating voltage not exceeding 480V a.c., 50Hz to 60Hz, and a rated current not exceeding 63A three-phase or 70A single phase, for use in conductive charging of electric vehicles. This part of IEC62196 covers the basic interface accessories for vehicle supply as specified in IEC62196‑1 , and intended for use in conductive charging systems for circuits specified in IEC61851‑1:2010 . NOTE1 Electric road vehicles (EV) implies all road vehicles, including plug-in hybrid road vehicles (PHEV), that derive all or part of their energy from RESS. These accessories are intended to be used for circuits specified in IEC61851‑1:2010 which operate at different voltages and frequencies and which may include extra-low voltage (ELV) and communication signals. These accessories may be used for bidirectional power transfer (under consideration). This standard applies to accessories to be used in an ambient temperature between –30°C and +50°C. NOTE2 In the following country, other requirements regarding the lower temperature may apply: NO. NOTE3 In the following country, –35°C applies: SE. These accessories are intended to be connected only to cables with copper or copper-alloy conductors. Vehicle inlet and vehicle connector to this standard are intended to be used for charging in modes 1, 2 and 3, cases B and C. The socket-outlets and plugs covered by this standard are intended to be used for charging mode 3 only, case A and B. The modes and permissible connections are specified in IEC62196‑1:2014 .
