This is George with Argo electrical services and I am the surge protector guy. So this is podcast number two concerning electric vehicle chargers. today’s podcast are about definitions out of the National Electrical Code for electrical vehicle chargers. Charge charger power converter, the device used to convert energy from the power grid to a high frequency output for wireless transfer 625 CMP 12 electric vehicle connector, a device that when electrically coupled, conductive or inductive to an electrical vehicle as Americans inlet establishes electrical connection to the electrical vehicle for the purpose of power transform, transfer and information exchange 625 CMP 12 informational note C 625 dot 48 For further information on interactive systems, electrical vehicle power export equipment, EVP II the equipment including the outlet on the vehicle that is used to provide electrical power and voltages greater or equal to 30 voltage volts alternating current or 60 volts direct current to loads external to the vehicle using the vehicle as a source of supply 625 CMP 12 information on electrical vehicle power export equipment and electrical vehicle supply equipment or wireless power transfer equipment are sometimes contained in one piece of equipment, sometimes referred to as a bidirectional electrical vehicle supply equipment, Evie se or bi directional wireless power transfer equipment WP T electrical vehicle supply equipment avsc equipment for plugin charging including the ungrounded grounded and equipment grounding conductors in the vehicle, electric vehicle connectors, attachment plugs, personnel protection system and all other fittings devices power outlets or apparatus installed specifically for the purpose of transferring energy between the premises wiring and the electric vehicle 625 CMP 12 informational note electrical vehicle power export equipment and electrical vehicle supply equipment or wireless power transfer equipment WP T E are sometimes contained in one piece of equipment sometimes referred to as bidirectional e v SC or bidirectional WP T fastened in place mounting means of equipment in which the fastening means are specifically designed to permit removal without the use of a tool 625 CMP 12 fixed in place mounting means of equipment using fasteners that require a tool for removable 625 CMP 12 Load management the process within the energy management system that limits the total electrical load on an electrical supply system to a set value by adjusting or controlling the individual loads 625 CMP 12 informational note load management is sometimes called demand side management or DSM output cable to the electric vehicle and assembly consisting of a link of flexible Evie cable and an electrical vehicle connector supplying power to the electric vehicle 625 CMP 12 output cable to the primary pad, a multi conductor shielded cable assembly consisting of conductors to carry the high frequency energy in any status and signals between the charger power converter and the primary pan 625 CMP 12 personnel protection system as applied to E V S E. A system of personnel protection devices, Inc. Instructional features that when used together provide protection against electrical shock of personnel 625 CMP 12. Portable, a device intended for indoor or outdoor use, that isn’t designed to be hand carried from location to location, or easily transported without the use of other devices or equipment 625 CMP 12 The primary pad, a device external to the Eevee it transfers power via the contactless coupling or portable wireless power transfer system 625 CMP 12 wireless power transfer WP T. The transfer of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load via magnetic fields by contactless means between a primary device and a secondary device 625 CMP 12 wireless power transfer equipment WP T equipment installed specifically for the purpose of transferring energy between the premises wiring and the electric vehicle without physical electrical contact 625 CMP 12 informational note number one. The general form of WP T consists of two physical packages, a control box and a primary pad. Informational note number two, electrical vehicle power export equipment and wireless power transfer equipment are sometimes contained in one set of equipment, some times referred to as a bidirectional and WP t. So one thing to keep in mind when installing a evey charging system on your residence or property is that when these units were in full years, they are continued continuous load. So you need to multiply the amperage draw by 125%. And if it takes more than three hours, you know that’s what makes it to charge it. That’s what makes it considered, you know, continuous duty as far as the National Electrical Code I would also suggest looking at getting a higher amperage charging system. That way it will charge the vehicle faster, and it will be less draw on the system. This is George Argo with Argo electrical services, and I am the surge protector guy.
