RCD Testing trip time and trip current, 10mA, 30mA ... 1000mA, and with 0o or 180o starting polarity
Fault Loop Impedance
Phase Rotation
Socket Test earth continuity, polarity and correct connections tests with a single push button and with Pass/Fail indication without trailing leads
Overvoltage Category 600V CAT III and 300V CAT IV
Includes mains measuring cable, 3 x test leads, 3 x test probes, 3 x crocodile clips, 5ohm and 10ohm resistor box for socket test, AC adaptor and NiMH rechargeable batteries
The Metrel A-1532XA EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) adapter is a special accessory for the InstalTest series of multifunction testers for use in the verification of electrical safety and functional testing of Mode 3 electric vehicle charging stations with a type 2 connector.
When used with COMBO BT tester, the complete EVSE charging station can be tested (state-by-state) electrically and functionally with a push of a button and create a professional station-based report with Metrel's MESM software.

What is EVSE Protocol?
The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) protocol keeps you and your electric vehicle safe while charging.
Using two-way communication between the charger and car, the correct charging current is set based on the maximum current the charger can provide as well as the maximum current the car can receive. As part of the protocol, a safety lock-out exists, preventing current from flowing when the charger is not connected to the car. It ensures that if a cable is not correctly inserted, power will not flow through it.
EVSE can also detect hardware faults, disconnecting the power and preventing battery damage, electrical shorts and fire.
A-1532XA EVSE Adaptor Connection & Test Procedure
Testing Procedure:
- Connect the A 1532XA output to the Instaltest COMBO BT tester (via mains test socket or via safety banana sockets)
- Select PP State (3) position N.C. and CP State (4) position A.
- Connect A 1532XA plug (6) to the EVSE.
- Run installation tests for non-energized installation circuits.
- Simulate different charging conditions with PP State (3) and CP State (4). Verify the response of the EVSE.
- In PP State (3) position different to N.C. and CP State (4) position in C or D, the EVSE output is energized. Installation tests for energized installation circuits.
Examples of Error Conditions Identified:
- Error condition or disconnection of plug
- EVSE does not supply energy
- EV detected, EV not ready to receive energy, EVSE does not supply energy
- EV ready to receive energy, EVSE is supplying energy if ventilation is not required.
- EV ready to receive energy and requires ventilation, EVSE is supplying energy only if ventilation exists.
- EVSE doesn’t supply energy (no power).
