722.1 Scope 

722.1.1 Scope of the document

The particular requirements of this document apply tocircuits intended to

• supply energy to electric vehicles, and circuits intended to

•  supply energy  from electric vehicles.

NOTE 1 The same circuit can be used for both purposes.

Circuits covered by this document are terminated at the connecting point.

722.1.1.2 Scope of the IEC 60364 series

Replace the fifth paragraph by:

Electrical equipment, such as EV supply equipment, is dealt with only in so far as its selection and application in the circuits are concerned.

722.1.3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

• IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/

• ISO Online browsing platform: available at http://www.iso.org/obp

722.1.3.1

electric

vehicle electric road vehicle EV

any vehicle propelled by an electric motor drawing current from a rechargeable energy storage system (RESS), intended primarily for use on public roads

[SOURCE: ISO 17409:2015, 3.19, modified — "rechargeable energy storage system" has been added.]

722.1.3.2

connecting point

terminating point in an electrical installation where energy is transferred between that electrical installation and one electric vehicle

EXAMPLE A socket-outlet, a vehicle connector or a supply device of a wireless power transfer system.

Note 1 to entry: The connecting point can be part of the installed EV supply equipment.

722.1.3.3

demand factor

ratio, expressed as a numerical value or as a percentage, of the maximum demand of a circuit or a group of circuits within a specified period, to the corresponding total installed load of the circuit(s)

Note 1 to entry: In using this term, it is necessary to specify to which level of the system it relates.

[SOURCE: IEC 60050-691:1973, 691-10-05, modified — The term "installation" has been replaced with the term "circuit".].

722.1.3.4

EV charging station

part of EV supply equipment permanently connected to an electrical installation

722.1.3.5

EV supply equipment

equipment or a combination of equipment, providing dedicated functions to transfer electric energy between an electrical installation and an EV

722.1.3.6

load control

electrical (energy) management system ensuring that the sum of load currents of dedicated circuits does not exceed a predetermined value

A dedicated circuit shall be provided for the transfer of energy from/to the electric vehicle.

722.1.5.2.18.

Where a DC system is used for transferring energy between an electrical installation and an electric vehicle, a DC charging station in accordance with the IEC 61851 series shall be applied.

722.1.7 Electrical installations

722.1.7.2 Maximum demand and diversity

Add the following:

It shall be considered that in normal use each single connecting point is used at its rated current or at the configured maximum charging current of the charging station. The means for configuration of the maximum charging current shall only be made by the use of a key or a tool and only be accessible to skilled or instructed persons.

NOTE For this application the demand factor of the final circuit supplying the connecting point (e.g. the socket-outlet) is equal to 1.

Except where a load control is included in the EV supply equipment or installed upstream or a combination of both, the diversity factor for all the connecting points of the installation shall be taken as equal to 1, as they can be used simultaneously.

NOTE The load control for EV charging can be part of the electrical energy management system (EEMS) of a prosumer’s electrical installation.

Add the following:

In a TN system, a circuit supplying a connecting point shall not include a PEN conductor.
