Hi all,
I have a nissan e-nv200 electric van (basically the same tech as the nissan leaf).
I have just installed a brusa nlg513 charger (older black brusa model) and connected it up to the env200 van, and set up the charger as a booster charger.
I have followed the brusa installation manual to wire up the electrics and 23 pin ampseal connector.
OK, the issue. I have connected to the charger via the rs232 port to access the charger via the chargemaster software, and have successfully loaded the parameters that i want to use.
I have also connected to the charger via a hyperterminal program to see the live data from the charger ok.
The live, neutral and earth connections for the brusa have been taken off the rear of the j1772 socket on the van.
When I plug in the j1772 plug (off my 32a evse) the vans oem charger starts up ok as normal, at the same time the brusa charger initialises the powe led light is on along with 2 of the 3 leds relting to charge level. No errors at all showing in hyperterminal, but the charger doesnt really start to charge, in hyperterminal it shows the bypass current as 15 amps, but the charger only chargers at 0.1 ams or 200 watts of power.
Also, as soon as I press the lever to release the j1772 plug out of the socket, the fans on the brusa spin up as if the charger momentarrily starts.
The charger will sometimes start and run happily fir a ful charge, maybe 1 in 20 plug ins will start normally, the rest of the time the condition above is the norm.
Have any of you seen this type of behaviour before?
Do i need to add a control pilot signal into the charger, although in ooster mode the manual doesnt state this needs to be done as all it odes is mimic the oem charger.
Do i need to do something the the power feed to the charger, is the pilot control signal to the oem charger making some kind of intereference?
Any help is greatly appreciated with this please.
Thank you.
