Electric vehicle conductive charging system - Part 21-2: Electric vehicle requirements for conductive connection to an AC/DC supply - EMC requirements for off board electric vehicle charging systems

Publication date:   Aug 16, 2021

Scope

IEC 61851-21-2:2018 defines the EMC requirements for any off-board components or equipment of such systems used to supply or charge electric vehicles with electric power by conductive power transfer (CPT), with a rated input voltage, according to IEC 60038:2009, up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC and an output voltage up to 1 000 V AC or 1 500 V DC.

This document covers off-board charging equipment for mode 1, mode 2, mode 3 and mode 4 charging as defined in IEC 61851-1:2017.

This first edition, together with IEC 61851-21-1, cancels and replaces IEC 61851-21:2001. It constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 61851‑21:2001:

a) this document addresses now only EMC related tests instead of other electrical tests;

b) Clauses 2 and 3 have been updated;

c) the port definition, the test-setups and their corresponding limits as well as the operation modes are defined more precisely;

d) Annexes A to F have been added.
