IEC 62196-1:2003(E) PLUGs, sOCKET-OUTLETS,VEHICLE COUPLERS AND VEHICLE INLETS -cONDUCTIVE CHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES-Part 1: Charging of electric vehicles up to 250 A a.c. and 400 A d.c.

IEC 62196-1:2003(E) PLUGs, sOCKET-OUTLETS,VEHICLE COUPLERS AND VEHICLE INLETS -cONDUCTIVE CHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES-Part 1: Charging of electric vehicles up to 250 A a.c. and 400 A d.c. 1 Scope This part of lEC 62196 is applicable to plugs,socket-outlets,connectors,inlets and cableassemblies for electric vehicles，intended for use in conductive charging systems whichincorporate control means,with a rated operating voltage not exceeding: -690 v a.c.，50 - 60 Hz, at a rated current not exceeding 250 A; - 600 v d.c., at a rated current not exceeding 400 A. These accessories and cable assemblies are intended to be used for circuits specified inIEC 61851-1 which operate at different voltages and frequencies and which may include ELvand communication signals. These accessories and cable assemblies are to be used in an ambient temperature ofbetween -30 °C and +50 °C. In some countries, other requirements may apply. These accessories are intended to be connected only to cables with copper or copper-alloyconductors. The accessories covered by this standard are for use in certain modes of charging EV's.These modes are defined in IEC 61851-1.These definitions and a description of the types ofconnection (cases A,B and C), also described in lEC 61851-1,are reproduced herein asAnnex A. Table 1 illustrates the types of accessories (B, U32， uA， up) permitted for each chargingsituation (mode and case) and identifies where it is mandatory to use the accessories coveredby this standard. These are indicated by the entries in the columns headed “62196" inTable 1.
