ST-HCAC-EA / UA / NA
Type 1 / Type 2 / NACS AC EV Charger Tester
Modular three-standard AC charger tester for Type 1, Type 2 and NACS connectors, with R2/R3 simulation, EVCC/EVSE data and cabinet-ready integration.
Product Overview
Type 1 / Type 2 / NACS AC EV Charger Tester
ST-HCAC-EA / UA / NA is a three-in-one AC EV charger tester for NACS, Type 1 and Type 2 charging equipment. Its integrated control-pilot circuit supports plug-in testing, while the modular design can be supplied as an independent 6U protective-case module or integrated into a test cabinet for a customized laboratory solution. The system combines multiple sockets, load connection, test cases and charger-data acquisition for global AC charger validation.
Choose ST-HCAC-EA / UA / NA when one laboratory needs Type 1, Type 2 and NACS AC charger interfaces. The module can operate in a protective 6U case or integrate into a custom test cabinet. Define each interface's test current, external load, fault sequence and evidence requirements before agreeing the system configuration.
Choose the right test configuration
Interface and workflow
Multi-interface AC validation: Type 1 240 V / 80 A, Type 2 415 V / 63 A and NACS 240 V / 200 A socket ratings. Choose the 6U or cabinet arrangement for your workflow.
External load and connection limits
Listed external-load limits: Type 1 80 A, Type 2 63 A and NACS 80 A. The NACS socket's 200 A rating does not establish a 200 A external-load path.
Options and accessories
Confirm optional waveform capture and precision measurement, interface cables and cabinet integration. RS232, RJ45 and PC software support configured operation.
Procurement checklist
Confirm the delivered configuration before ordering
Interface and standards
Confirm the connector, market, protocol and exact standard editions required by the charger and test plan.
Electrical and load path
Separate socket, cable and measurement ratings from the source or external load used during sustained power tests.
Evidence and options
List required metering accuracy, message or waveform capture, fault cases, report fields and optional modules.
Acceptance and support
Agree supplied accessories, software, factory acceptance checks, commissioning, training and support boundaries.

Product FAQ
Common questions about ST-HCAC-EA / UA / NA
Can the NACS interface run external-load tests at 200 A?
The socket is rated 240 V / 200 A, but the listed NACS external-load limit is 80 A. Use the complete configured current-path limit, not the socket rating alone, when planning tests.
Can the tester be integrated into a laboratory cabinet?
Yes. The modular design supports a protective 6U case or cabinet integration. Confirm mechanical layout, interface access, load connections and software controls for the project.
Does this model provide GB/T or DC coverage?
This configuration lists Type 1, Type 2 and NACS AC interfaces. For GB/T AC, compare ST-HCAC-GB / UA / EA; use a dedicated DC platform for DC charger tests.
