Test Meter PRO TMPEVA EV Charger Test Adaptor

Test Meter PRO TMPEVA EVSE Test Adaptor

The Test Meter PRO TMPEVA EVSE Test Adaptor provides a convenient interface between Type 2 electric vehicle charging points and compatible multifunction testers or other electrical test equipment. Standard 4mm safety sockets provide direct access to L1, L2, L3, N, PE and CP, enabling engineers to carry out appropriate electrical tests at the chargepoint without requiring direct access to the internal wiring.

Suitable for both single-phase and three-phase EVSE installations, the TMPEVA simulates the connection states of an electric vehicle through selectable Control Pilot modes A, B and C. These allow the engineer to reproduce vehicle-not-connected, vehicle-connected and ready-to-charge conditions so that chargepoint behaviour can be checked during installation, commissioning and fault finding.

A dedicated CP Error “E” simulation reproduces a Control Pilot fault condition and should cause the EVSE to abort charging and prevent a new charging cycle. When used with a suitable MFT, the adaptor provides access for measurements including voltage, frequency, phase indication, phase sequence, RCD testing, low-resistance measurements and line/loop impedance testing.

Part number: TMPEVA

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EVSE test adaptor used for?
An EVSE test adaptor provides an interface between a Type 2 EV chargepoint and compatible electrical test equipment, allowing engineers to perform installation and functional checks without dismantling the chargepoint.

Can the TMPEVA be used with a multifunction tester?
Yes. The TMPEVA is specifically designed to connect a suitable MFT to the EVSE through standard 4mm test sockets.

What do the A, B and C settings mean?
State A represents no vehicle connected, State B represents a connected vehicle not ready to charge, and State C represents a connected vehicle ready to charge.

What does the Error setting do?
The spring-loaded E position simulates a CP-to-PE fault. A correctly operating chargepoint should stop the charging process and prevent a new charging cycle.

Can the TMPEVA test single and three-phase chargepoints?
Yes. The adaptor is suitable for 230V single-phase and 400V three-phase EVSE systems.

Can insulation resistance testing be carried out through the adaptor?
Not between the L1, L2, L3 and neutral terminals. The manual specifically warns that the indicator LEDs are connected across these conductors and that applying insulation test voltages may damage the adaptor.
