As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to rise globally, having an efficient and reliable charging infrastructure is crucial. Sowellsolar, a leading provider of solar energy and EV charging solutions, has introduced a new range of EV Charging Plugs for AC, designed to offer optimal performance, safety, and convenience for electric vehicle owners.

This new product lineup includes various models catering to different needs, from 32A high-power models to 20A standard options, all designed to meet the stringent standards of the international IEC62196-2 protocol.

Key Features and Specifications of Sowellsolar’s EV Charging Plugs for AC

Sowellsolar's EV Charging Plugs for AC come with advanced features tailored to provide reliable and safe charging for a wide range of electric vehicles. Here are the key specifications for the 32A and 20A models:

1. Type and Rating:

- Type: TYPE2-TYPE2-3P32A / SO-IEC2-IIe-IIb-3P32A (for 32A version)  
  TYPE2-TYPE2-3P20A / SO-IEC2-IIe-IIb-3P20A (for 20A version)  
- Rated Voltage: 480Vac  
  These plugs are rated for high voltage, providing a stable power supply for both residential and commercial charging stations.

- Rated Current: 32A (for 32A version) and 20A (for 20A version)

  The 32A model is suitable for high-power charging applications, while the 20A model is ideal for standard home charging needs.

2. Protection Degree: IP55

- IP55 protection ensures that the plugs are dust-tight and water-resistant, making them suitable for use in outdoor environments. This level of protection ensures long-lasting durability, even in harsh weather conditions such as rain or extreme temperatures, offering users a reliable charging solution no matter the location.

3. Coupler Design: 3P+N+PE+PP+CP

- Coupler: 3P (Phase) + N (Neutral) + PE (Protective Earth) + PP (Proximity Pin) + CP (Control Pilot)
  This design ensures safe and efficient power transfer, with built-in safety features like proximity detection and control pilot communication between the vehicle and the charger. The coupler's features prevent electrical mishaps and help optimize the charging process, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of electric vehicle models.

4. Charging Cable: H07BZ5-F 5*6mm² + 2*0.5mm² (for 32A version) and H07BZ5-F 5*2.5mm² + 2*0.5mm² (for 20A version)

- The cables used in both versions of the Sowellsolar EV charging plugs are made from high-quality H07BZ5-F rubber-insulated material, designed to withstand high temperatures and mechanical stress.  

- The 5*6mm² cable (for the 32A version) provides the necessary conductivity for higher power transmission, while the 5*2.5mm² (for the 20A version) is more suitable for standard charging requirements. Both cables include 2*0.5mm² control conductors for data transmission and communication between the charger and vehicle.

5. Cable Length: 5 Meters

- With a generous cable length of 5 meters, the charging plug offers flexibility for EV owners to park their vehicles at a reasonable distance from the charging station, providing ease of use even in tight spaces.

6. Compliance with IEC62196-2 Standards

- Both models conform to the IEC62196-2 Sheet-2-IIe / IIb standards, ensuring universal compatibility with electric vehicles and charging stations globally. These standards ensure that the charging plugs meet the required safety, quality, and electrical performance guidelines, making them a trusted solution for EV charging infrastructure.

What’s the Difference Between 3P16A and 3P20A Models?

A common question from potential customers is about the differences between the 3P16A and 3P20A versions of Sowellsolar EV Charging Plugs. 

Though both models feature the same coupler design and cable construction, the main difference lies in the rated current:

- 3P16A Models are designed for lower-power applications (16A) and are often used in less demanding residential environments.

- 3P20A Models, with a 20A rating, offer higher current, suitable for slightly more power-hungry vehicles or faster charging times. 

However, the cables and couplers in both versions are made of similar materials (H07BZ5-F), and both include 5-meter long cables with control and power lines. The real difference is in the rated current capacity—the 20A model can handle more power, allowing for faster charging of EVs.

For customers with electric vehicles that require faster charging, the 3P20A model would be a better fit, while the 3P16A is adequate for standard charging needs.
