UNE-EN IEC 61980-1:2021

This part of IEC 61980 applies to the supply device for charging electric road vehicles using wireless methods at standard supply voltages ratings per IEC 60038 up to 1 000 V AC and up to 1 500 V DC.

Electric road vehicles (EV) cover road vehicles, including plug-in hybrid road vehicles (PHEV) that derive all or part of their energy from on-board rechargeable energy storage systems (RESS)

This standard also applies to Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) equipment supplied from on-site storage systems (e.g. buffer batteries).

The aspects covered in this standard include,

the characteristics and operating conditions of a supply device,

the specification for required level of electrical safety of a supply device,

communication between EV device and vehicle to enable and control WPT,

efficiency, alignment and other activities to enable WPT,

specific EMC requirements for a supply device.

The following aspects are under consideration for future documents:

requirements for two- and three-wheel vehicles,

requirements for MF-WPT systems supplying power to EVs in motion, and

requirements for bidirectional power transfer.

This standard does not apply to:

safety aspects related to maintenance,

WPT system for trolley buses, rail vehicles and vehicles designed primarily for use off-131 road,

any safety or EMC requirements for the vehicle side.
