Introducing TruePEN, safer by design BLOG EV Charging Introducing TruePEN, safer by design 12 December 2023 at 11:07:31 A safer and compliant electric vehicle charging solution for the home. Rolec’s TruePEN system provides customers with a safer and compliant electric vehicle charging solution, ensuring that current regulations are met. The built-in TruePEN PME fault detection allows for a cost-effective and quicker installation process, without the requirement for an earth electrode/rod. What is PME Fault Detection? A Protective Multiple Earth (PME) system is wired in many UK homes. In a PME system, the home’s earth wiring is connected to the neutral conductor at the mains supply connection point entering the home. The combined Protective Earth and Neutral (PEN) is then earthed multiple times on its route back to the sub-station. The low impedance path provided between neutral, and earth ensures RCDs fitted in the home consumer unit reliably detect earth faults. A home EV charge point when installed is connected to the same point, allowing the PEN conductor to provide connection back to earth. A possible fault condition in a PME system occurs when due to a break in the PEN conductor the home appliances appear dead. However, if a device is turned ON the neutral will rise to the live potential, and so too will earth as this is also connected to the house neutral. Under this fault condition RCDs no longer provide fault protection. Inside the home the danger is low as no potential difference exists between the live, neutral and earth conductors to do any harm. However, if a vehicle is connected to the charge point and earthed inside the home this provides high risk of electric shock due to the potential difference between vehicle chassis and external ground. If a person stood on the ground touches the vehicle chassis, they could complete the earth’s path to ground and experience an electric shock. The 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS7671:2018) addressed this problem under clause 722.411.4.1 on the installation of EV charge points for domestic installations. Protecting a person in the event of this fault condition can be achieved by installation of an earth rod at the charge point, or through PEN fault detection and isolation of vehicle from home live, neutral and earth. The latter is often preferred due to low cost and easy fitment. Why Rolec have developed TruePEN The inclusion of PEN fault detection within the IET Wiring Regulations allowed for a lower cost alternative to the ground rod and following this many PEN solutions quickly appeared. However not all conform to regulations with High and Low voltage detection thresholds out of tolerance and only live and neutral being isolated. (Some non-UK markets support High and Low voltage detection but this can be miss interpreted as PEN fault detection/protection) We started our internal research and development to precisely meet the regulations and therefore implement a true PEN solution. On our path we confirmed repeatability and tolerance over environmental operating range and tested electro-magnetic compliance to ensure safety is not compromised. The TruePEN system Following power on TruePEN monitors the supply voltage for 5 seconds and determines if the voltage is within normal operating limits. (No differentiation is necessary between 230Vac or 240Vac supply) . If out of limits a PEN fault condition is activated. To clear, the supply must return within normal operating limits, and may also require a power off/on cycle should the cause have been an over-voltage condition. If within limits TruePEN allows connection of live, neutral and earth to the vehicle, and continues to monitor the supply. If the voltage drops below 207Vac and does not return for up to 5 seconds, a PEN fault condition is tripped and live, neutral and earth connections are removed from the vehicle. However, a voltage dip could also cause the same fault condition. Therefore, TruePEN continuously monitors the supply health and if it returns to within normal operating range, automatically allows reconnection of live, neutral and earth to the vehicle. The charge session can then resume without manual intervention and the EV driver is not inconvenienced. If the voltage rises above 253Vac and does not return for up to 5 seconds, a PEN fault condition is tripped and live, neutral and earth connections are removed from the vehicle. TruePEN continues to monitor the supply heath but if it returns to within normal operating limits the fault condition is not cleared without manual intervention to power cycle. Under this condition the EV driver is made aware of the high-voltage applied to the vehicle and can then perform safety checks before driving the vehicle. In summary TruePEN Functions Automatically monitors the supply voltage on both 230V & 240V supplies without the need for any manual dipswitch settings. Within 5 seconds in the event of an under-voltage of less than 207V or an over-voltage of more than 253V Live, Neutral & Earth will be isolated. Following an under-voltage isolation, will automatically reset when normal operating range is restored. Following an over-voltage isolation, on the grounds of safety, will require a manual reset. TruePEN is the low cost, labour effective solution to meeting regulatory requirements when fitted to a charge point to a PME system.

New Building Regulations Set to Make EV Chargers a Part of the Furniture NEWS EV Charging New Building Regulations Set to Make EV Chargers a Part of the Furniture Chloe Sharp 16 February 2023 at 09:21:25 Why is the government introducing these regulations? It is not new to suggest that more needs to be done to tackle the current climate emergency. The push for rapid decarbonisation can be felt throughout the UK and expands far into the world. Something that many national leaders are trying to tackle through the execution of legislative and regulatory changes. One of the newest to be implemented in the UK being the Part S regulation. This new regulation specifically aims to tackle the problem of electric vehicle infrastructure we currently have in the UK. Highlighted as one of the greatest problems facing the adoption of electric vehicles, many people have stated increased range anxiety and the inaccessibility of EV charge points as one of their main deterrents against taking the plunge into emission-free transport. What does this mean for residential property developers? To ease some of these fears, the Part S regulation makes it mandatory for all new build properties to provide an electric vehicle (EV) charge point for potential residents. It also applies to residential properties undergoing major renovations (that will have more than 10 parking spaces upon completion). Tasking developers to deliver at least one EV charge point per residence as well as the supporting infrastructure to sustain the installation of future charge points . Installing cable routes to all remaining spaces. In terms of how successful this is in achieving its aims, it is definitely set to increase the accessibility of EV chargers domestically. And measures have been taken to future-proof these developments via cable installation. Hopefully encouraging an uptake in purchases of new electric vehicles. But, since 80% of EV owners already charge their cars at home over night, what does this mean for the day? Regulations for new non-residential properties. This brings us to the provisions for non-residential buildings . Like those above, if the building is set to have more than 10 parking spaces , one space must have access to an EV charge point . Cable routes also need to be installed in a minimum of 20% of remaining spaces . If the parking spaces are in a covered garage, consider uncovered spaces first or (if all are covered) cable routes must be installed in 1/5 of spaces. In terms of buildings undergoing renovations, cost of installing charge points and cable routes should not equal more than 7% of the cost of the total renovation . The addition of this provision is promising as it sets in motion the groundwork for expansion. As well as aiming to tackle the problem faced by many current and prospective EV drivers, of the public lack of infrastructure. Whether this is enough to convince people to make the switch is yet to be seen but hopefully by dipping their toes into the world of EV charging, businesses will be encouraged to join the pledge for a greener future.
