In recent years, more people are opting for greener solutions to minimize environmental damage, which has led to an increased demand for environmentally safe solutions such as electric vehicles. Naturally, this has led to an increase in the installation of EV charging stations, but also the risks for technicians. In 2020, there were 126 fatal and 2200 non-fatal electrical injuries. Many of these are caused when technicians are exposed to hazardous voltage and arc faults that could cause shock and fire hazards due to a lack of understanding of proper EVSE installation and maintenance. Considering that EVSEs have a high rate of failure, estimated at 30 to 50% (SAE), reliability is essential when building EV infrastructure and gaining user acceptance.
This week, ITM Instruments teamed up with Fluke to host a solutions-based webinar on "EVSE Safety Maintenance." This one-hour session provides information on EVSE-related hazards, functionalities, installation, and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) to ensure that technicians work in a safe environment.
Here’s what we covered during the webinar:
- EV charging network trends
- Electric vehicle charging station (EVSE) system types
- Safety hazards encountered when servicing EV charging equipment (tool safety ratings)
- EVSE testing and O&M
- Q&A
