Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System Using a Three-Phase Capable Coupler
J3068_202409
This document covers the general physical, electrical, functional, testing, and performance requirements for conductive power transfer to an electric vehicle using a coupler capable of, but not limited to, transferring three-phase AC power. It defines a conductive power transfer method including the digital communication system. It also covers the functional and dimensional requirements for the electric vehicle inlet, supply equipment connector, and mating housings and contacts. Moveable charging equipment such as a service truck with charging facilities are within scope. Charging while moving (or in-route-charging) is not in scope.
Rationale:
This document has been revised to better support installations for refrigerated trucks and other medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles for North American application, provide universal AC power transfer using a socket-outlet with carry-along cable assemblies across all vehicle classes, harmonize with SAE J3400 for single-phase application, and fix known errata in the document.
