Characteristics of EV mode 2 charging and common fault types

EV charging mode is the method of connecting an electric vehicle to the grid to power the electric vehicle and is divided into four charging modes in total. Among them, Mode 2 charging is an intelligent extension cable in which the ICCB controller is integrated internally, which is what differentiates it from Mode 1 charging and allows communication with the car in charging and related safety features.

Features of EV mode 2 charging

1. Single-phase AC charging is used, and three-phase AC charging mode is not considered for home charging.

2, European standard EV mode 2 portable charger with options for Type 1 or Type 2 vehicle charging. 16A plug, charging flexibility, with a plug-in board can be charged.

EV Mode 2 chargers are sometimes referred to as "granny cables" or "trickle chargers", which are slower to charge cars.

Common types of EV mode 2 charging faults

1. Poor grounding can lead to charging failure. EV charging needs grounding wire, many people do not realize the importance of the correct grounding wire, rashly nail a nail in the wall as a grounding wire, and mode 2 charging will be real-time grounding protection for continuous monitoring, in the case of poor wiring will automatically cut off the power.

2, the wrong use of wiring and circuit breakers can also lead to failure. Electric vehicles using mode 2 for charging, due to the slower charging speed, need to be charged for a long time, generating more heat, the conditions under this situation should be set up under the premise of special lines, if the use of charging cable is thin may lead to overheating the risk of spontaneous combustion.

3, plugging way will also have an impact, some owners first pull the utility socket end will lead to socket burn, affecting the use.

4, 12V battery voltage is insufficient, resulting in the vehicle can not be charged. 12V battery provides power to the car-end controller, when the battery can not provide sufficient voltage, the car-end controller can not work properly, resulting in abnormal charging.
