EVS-EN IEC 61851-1:2019

IEC 61851-1 applies to EV supply equipment for charging electric road vehicles, with a rated supply voltage of up to 1 000 V AC or up to 1 500 V DC and a rated output voltage of up to 1 000 V AC or up to 1 500 V DC.

Electric road vehicles cover all road vehicles, including plug-in hybrid road vehicles, that derive all or part of their energy from onboard rechargeable energy storage systems. The IEC 61851 series covers all EV supply equipment except for in-cable control and protection devices for mode 2 charging of electric road vehicles.

IEC 61851-1 covers:

— the characteristics and operating conditions of the EV supply equipment,

— the specification of the connection between the EV supply equipment and the EV,

— the requirements for electrical safety for the EV supply equipment.

The text of IEC 61851-1:2017 has been approved in Europe as EN IEC 61851-1:2019 without any changes.
