IEC 62196-1 EV Plug Drive-Over Crushing Test Equipment For Vehicle Connector Crushing Test

The EV Plug Drive-Over Test Equipment is designed to evaluate the mechanical durability and safety of electric vehicle connectors and plugs under vehicle crushing conditions. This system simulates real-world scenarios where EV charging connectors may be accidentally run over by a vehicle, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.

Engineered for precision and reliability, this equipment is widely used in EV charger manufacturers, testing laboratories, and certification bodies for EV connector durability testing, charging plug safety validation, and compliance testing.

• Fully compliant with IEC 62196-1:2022 Clause 33 and UL 2594 Clause 58
• Realistic simulation of vehicle tire rolling over EV connectors
• Adjustable crushing force up to 11000N
• High-precision PLC control system with touchscreen interface
• Heavy-duty structure with industrial-grade motor and reducer
• Simulated concrete test surface for accurate testing conditions
• Bidirectional rolling simulation (forward & reverse)
• Enhanced safety system with protective enclosure and interlocks

The equipment simulates a vehicle driving over an EV plug or connector placed on a concrete surface. A specified load is applied using a standard automotive tire under controlled speed and pressure conditions.

• Rolling speed: 8 ±2 km/h
• Tire type: P225/75R15 or equivalent
• Tire pressure: 2.2 ±0.1 bar
• Crushing force:
  • 5000 ±250 N
  • 11000 ±550 N
  • 4893 N (UL standard)

The system ensures that the sample remains fixed while undergoing repeated rolling cycles, replicating real-life stress conditions.

• IEC 62196-1:2022 Clause 33
• UL 2594:2016 Clause 58

The equipment features a robust cold-rolled steel enclosure with Teflon-coated surface for corrosion resistance. The internal structure integrates stainless steel and aluminum components to ensure long-term durability.

The rolling mechanism is guided by heavy-duty rails and powered by a high-torque motor system, ensuring smooth and consistent operation. The adjustable weight system allows precise control of crushing force, while the integrated crane arm simplifies loading operations.

• Fully enclosed protective structure
• Mechanical crane arm for safe weight handling
• Leakage protection switch
• Motor overload protection
• Safety door interlock system
• Anti-deviation wheel protection system

• EV charging plug and connector testing
• Electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) validation
• Product certification testing laboratories
• Quality inspection and R&D testing
