Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy vehicle technology, and in particular to an AC charging pile functional test cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] Existing simple AC charging pile testers only involve turning on the charging simulation switch (S2) and visually checking if the CP and CC indicator lights are lit normally, displaying the normal voltage; turning off the charging simulation switch (S2) extinguishes the CP and CC indicators and disables the voltage display. This incomplete functional testing leads to the easy omission of defects, increasing company costs and failing to meet customer quality requirements or national functional testing standards. In other words, it is known that AC charging pile testers have incomplete functional testing capabilities, are prone to missing defects, increase company costs, fail to meet customer quality requirements, and do not meet national functional testing standards.
