Electrical safety, Ground Fault monitoring for Electric Vehicles and Charging Stations
The Power Electronics and Consumer Electronics Joint Chapter at IEEE Toronto Section invites you to the following talk:
As more electric vehicles and charging stations are in operation in the world, the importance on electrical safety should not be overlooked. Electric vehicles and charging stations are prone to electrical failures just as much as industrial-type electrical systems. One of the most fundamental aspects of electrical safety is Ground Fault monitoring and protection.
This talk explores the different protection mechanisms used for ground fault detection on EV and EVSE and the product solutions tailored for the environments of electric vehicle and its charging process, in particular the mix of AC and DC within the same system. Accurate and reliable insulation monitoring inside the EV ensures the electric vehicle is safe to use for its occupants. In addition, many electrical codes and standards regulate electrical safety in charging stations, and this talk will focus on Residual Current monitoring for Level 2 chargers and Insulation monitoring for Level 3 chargers.
