Abstract:

This Standard (Part 2/Sec 3) is applicable to vehicle couplers with pins and contact- tubes of standardized configuration, herein also referred to as accessories, intended for use in electric vehicle conductive charging systems which incorporate control means, with rated operating voltage up to 1 500 V d.c. and rated current up to 250 A, and 1 000 V a.c. and rated current up to 250 A.

This Standard (Part 2/Sec 3) applies to high power d.c. interfaces and combined a.c./d.c. interfaces of vehicle couplers specified in IS 17017 (Part 2/Sec 1), and intended for use in conductive charging systems for circuits specified in IS 17017 (Part 1) and IEC 61851-23.

The d.c. vehicle connectors covered by this section of the standard are used only in charging mode 4, according to Case C in 6.2 of IS 17017(Part 1):2018, Figure 3 in 3.1.12 of IS 17017 (Part 1):2018, and IS 17017 (Part 2/Sec 2).

These vehicle couplers are intended to be used for circuits similar to those specified in IEC 61851-23, which operate at different voltages and which may include ELV and communication signals.

This section of IS 17017 (Part 2) applies to the vehicle couplers to be used in an ambient temperature of between -25°C and +55°C.

These vehicle couplers are intended to be connected only to cables with copper or copper- alloy conductors.
