Measurements of good and bad performance of EV charging cables

Release Time:2023/1/13 7:59:11 Click:

EV charging cable is the carrier that connects the vehicle and charging infrastructure for power transmission, and only products with high quality and excellent performance can ensure safer EV charging. So, how should we judge the performance of EV charging cables? Mainly from the following points to consider.

 

1. The strength of bearing capacity

The ability of EV charging cable to withstand various external pressure during use is crucial, which is one of the important factors affecting the performance of the cable. The quality of the cable is measured by testing its overall heat resistance, pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, etc. EV charging cables are used in a variety of environments, and there may be rain, sunlight and other external conditions of intervention, so only products with good resistance can show quality and ensure that they will not easily suffer damage during long-term use.

 

2. The size of bending radius

The performance of EV charging cables can also be measured by looking at the bending radius of the wire, which is often adjusted according to the charging conditions of different vehicles in car charging operations. But generally the wire with better bending radius can realize different charging needs of different cars, and the EV cable with better bending degree can also protect the wire from being easily broken or broken skin and other phenomena to ensure the whole charging process is more flexible.

 

3. Good or bad quality of copper wire

The performance of EV charging cable can also be identified by testing the quality of copper wire, which not only has a longer service life, higher safety, better conductivity and faster charging speed. In addition, a good copper wire has good electrical conductivity and energy efficiency, which can reduce the cost of charging. Therefore, the quality of copper wire is also an important factor in the performance of EV charging cables.
