As environmental awareness rises globally, many countries have announced plans to stop selling fuel vehicles starting in 2030. This shift is driving the growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and chargers. Consequently, many companies are actively investing in the research and production of chargers. The safety of EV charging has also become a significant focus. To ensure charging safety, countries have gradually established standards such as CCS, CHAdeMO, GB/T, among others. Products must pass related agreements and functional tests before being launched in different countries to ensure they meet legal requirements.
Traditionally, testing chargers has been fraught with challenges like long testing times, inadequate coverage, and test items not keeping pace with market changes. As a global leader in power and energy management solutions, Delta leverages years of experience in developing and manufacturing EV power and charging systems to continuously provide the market with stable and fast automated test systems. Recently, a laboratory established through the strategic collaboration between i-Tek Electronics Corp. (i-Tek) and Medgreen International Co., Ltd. (Medgreen) has introduced Delta’s Automated Testing System for DC Chargers T10000 (referred to as T10000) to overcome these challenges and expand the scope of testing.
Established in 2012, i-Tek is a well-known professional safety standard laboratory specializing in product testing and verification services. i-Tek provides customers with services that include CE, FCC, and international certifications, as well as product testing and certification requirements to ensure product safety and quality, thus shortening time-to-market. Expanding test items continuously to meet international industry trends and standards is a key operational focus of i-Tek. Founded in 2010, Medgreen initially focused on medical equipment and supplies agency. In recent years, recognizing the growing importance of ESG issues to governments and businesses globally, Medgreen has gradually ventured into industrial manufacturing smart upgrades, offering customers customized digital transformation solutions for production operations. The strategic collaboration with i-Tek aims to create a win-win in energy saving and carbon reduction and fulfill corporate social responsibility
Through this collaboration, i-Tek and Medgreen have introduced Delta’s T10000 to capitalize on its advantages and features, reducing energy consumption and achieving high-efficiency testing.
- Comprehensive Test Coverage
i-Tek’s testing capabilities will cover global mainstream DC charger functions and communication protocols, including standards such as DIN, ISO, CharIN, CHAdeMO, and GB/T. - Simulating Real Charging Scenarios
The system can comprehensively simulate real charging behaviors, including simultaneous charging, sequential charging, and different plug interfaces. It can also simulate abnormal states, conducting Fault Injection Tests to simulate reactions under pressure, allowing i-Tek to achieve a testing range of up to 600kW for DC chargers, with potential for further expansion based on actual demand. - Energy Recovery Functionality
Incorporating energy recovery electronic load equipment addresses the energy consumption issues arising from high-power DC charger tests. It recycles up to 95% of the testing energy back into the grid for reuse, significantly saving electricity costs and preventing wasteful energy use. - Smart 1 Testing Platform
Equipped with Delta’s independently developed Smart 1 testing software platform, it enables comprehensive automated testing, with an open architecture design allowing customization of test items and reporting templates based on user needs. The integrated test items can be updated according to global regulation changes, quickly adapting to adjustments in EV or charger equipment standards, delivering timely, flexible, and efficient services to customers.
As EVs become part of our daily lives, the safety and stability of EVs and chargers are imperative. Delta’s automated testing system for chargers not only provides high flexibility in testing and modular hardware design but also allows users to select test configurations as needed for AC and DC chargers. The system helps shorten product development time and further enhances the testing capacity of testing units.
