UK ProjectEV charge point testing

[leebut]

Hi All

Last week I invested in a new Megger MFT1741+ with the EV charge point adapter as I was installing a ProjectEV charge point on Thursday of last week.

Completed the install and just needed to carry out the live testing at the charge point, Zs done no issue, next comes the charge point tester plug it in with the Megger NOTHING the charge point doesn’t switch into charge mode so no voltage!!

Spoken to Project EV technical as soon as I told them it was a Megger MFT1741+ he said it doesn’t work with our charge points!! They only know of KewTech that works on their charge points, technical guy said it’s fine they’re all tested in the factory!!

Anyone else know if this is correct also is there a way round it, obviously I need to test it and issue the certificate.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues with different charge points and different testers etc

I have encountered the same issues using the same test equipment and project EVCE.
when I was calling for charge, nothing seems to happen, then after what felt like about 10 minutes, I heard a clunk when the relay/contactor kicked in and I finally had an energised phase indicator led on the EVCA210
were you able to resolve the issue that you encountered Or did you try a different tester?
Don’t really want to shell out for another piece of kit, but I may have no option.
appreciate its an old post, but thought there was no harm in resurrecting it.

"Megger MFT1741+" - I'm thinking of getting one of these too. How are you finding the confidence meter on the Zs? Is it worth the extra?

Sorry about the late reply I find the MFY1741+ really good the confidence meter is handy addition but in honesty it’s only there to give you a clear result so less effects of noise

Hi Lee , thanks for the reply, it wasn’t late I just hijacked your thread. My issue was trying to use the 1741+ and the Megger ev adapter and trying to test a project ev charger. I wasn’t having a noise issue.
