EMT 4 Electric Vehicle Charging Station Trainer, Wallbox
EMT 4 Electric Vehicle Charging Station Trainer, Wallbox
A charging station, also called a charge point or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), supplies power for charging plug-in electric vehicles like cars, trucks, and hybrids. These stations can be installed in public areas, private homes, and parking lots. With the rise of electric vehicles, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (EVCS) have become vital to the infrastructure, offering different charging levels (Level 1, 2, and 3) with varying speeds. Wallboxes, compact high-performance stations for private and semi-public use, can be integrated into energy management systems and smart homes. The Lucas-Nuelle training system teaches the installation, safety testing, and code compliance of charging stations, making it easy to integrate them into smart building systems.
Wallboxes provide a safe and reliable EV recharging solution for homes, workplaces, retail stores, parking facilities, and the hospitality industry. They can be integrated into energy management systems, smart homes, photovoltaic systems, or smart meters. Regular electrical safety certification is required, and the equipment also trains personnel to inspect hardwired charging infrastructure and portable charging cables.
