Laboratory validation
Integrated EV Charger Validation Laboratory Architecture
This laboratory architecture is intended for teams that need repeatable AC or DC charger development and pre-compliance workflows. It starts with the target connector and exact test scope, then coordinates interface simulation, power equipment, measurements, communication capture and reporting around version-controlled test cases.
Reference application architecture
Who this workflow is for
- ✓ EV charger manufacturers
- ✓ Independent and in-house test laboratories
- ✓ Engineering teams preparing for formal validation
Engineering objectives
- ✓ Reproduce normal, boundary and controlled fault sequences
- ✓ Synchronize communication evidence with electrical measurements
- ✓ Retain configurations and results that another engineer can review
Reference system configuration
Final ratings, instruments, options and facility interfaces must be agreed against the actual test plan.
AST-9000 platform
Coordinates the selected charger interface, simulated vehicle workflow and laboratory test sequence.
Interface modules
Match the actual GB/T, CCS2, Type 1, Type 2 or NACS connection and communication scope.
Programmable source and load
Provide the facility-side supply and power-absorption path specified by the test plan.
Measurement and reporting
Capture electrical values, protocol traffic, configurations, limits and repeatable result records.
Suggested execution workflow
- 1
Freeze the test boundary
Record charger hardware and firmware, connector, standards editions, electrical range and required evidence.
- 2
Review the laboratory configuration
Confirm module ratings, external power equipment, protection, communication options and calibration responsibilities.
- 3
Establish a reference session
Run one normal sequence and align requested values, messages, pilot state and measured charger output.
- 4
Execute controlled cases
Apply one boundary or fault condition at a time using documented settings and expected responses.
- 5
Package the evidence
Store setup revisions, raw captures, measurements, limits, results and unresolved observations together.
Expected project outputs
- ✓ Approved equipment and interface configuration
- ✓ Versioned test procedure and case matrix
- ✓ Synchronized communication and electrical records
- ✓ Reviewable result package for engineering or pre-compliance decisions
Confirm before configuration
- ✓ Exact standards and editions
- ✓ Connector and maximum voltage, current and power
- ✓ Included versus external source and load equipment
- ✓ Automation, report and calibration requirements
