Product Overview
The 6500A High Current EV Connector Temperature Rise Test System is
designed for evaluating thermal performance of electric vehicle
charging connectors under high current conditions.
The system applies controlled current up to 6500A and measures
temperature changes at terminals, contacts and conductive parts to
verify EV charging interface safety and reliability.
It is suitable for EV plug, socket outlet and vehicle connector
testing according to IEC 62196 requirements.
Equipped with proprietary software and computer control, the system
enables fully automated test execution and data analysis. Its
intuitive operation and precise performance provide an efficient
solution for temperature rise assessment and compliance
verification of electric vehicle charging interfaces and related
components.
