DS/EN IEC 61851-1:2019/AC:2023
Electric vehicle conductive charging system - Part 1: General requirements
This part of IEC 61851 applies to EV supply equipment for charging electric road vehicles,*with a rated supply voltage up to 1 000 V AC or up to 1 500 V DC. and a rated output voltage*up to 1 000 V AC. or up to 1 500 V DC.*Electric road vehicles (EV) cover all 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 EV supply equipment supplied from on-site storage systems (e.g.*buffer batteries).*The aspects covered in this standard include:*• the characteristics and operating conditions of the EV supply equipment;*• the specification of the connection between the EV supply equipment and the EV;*• the requirements for electrical safety for the EV supply equipment.*Additional requirements may apply to equipment designed for specific environments or*conditions, for example:*• EV supply equipment located in hazardous areas where flammable gas or vapour and/or*combustible materials, fuels or other combustible, or explosive materials are present;*• EV supply equipment designed to be installed at an altitude of more than 2 000 m;*• EV supply equipment intended to be used on board on ships;*Requirements for electrical devices and components used in EV supply equipment are not*included in this standard and are covered by their specific product standards.*EMC requirements for EV supply equipment are expected to be covered in the future*IEC 61851-21-26.*Requirements for bi-directional energy transfer are under consideration and are not in this*edition of IEC 61851-1.*This standard does not apply to:*• safety aspects related to maintenance;*• charging of trolley buses, rail vehicles, industrial trucks and vehicles designed primarily for*use off-road;*• equipment on the EV;*• EMC requirements for equipment on the EV while connected, which are covered in*IEC 61851-21-1;*• Charging RESS off board of the EV; • DC EV supply equipment that relies specifically on double/reinforced insulation or class III*protection against electric shock. See IEC 61851-23 or the future IEC 61851-3 series.*The IEC 61851 series covers all EV supply equipment with the exception of in-cable control*and protection devices for mode 2 charging of electric road vehicles (IC-CPD) which are*covered by IEC 62752.
