Release time:2025-10-19 20:07:38

    The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) has led to a significant demand for reliable and efficient charging infrastructure. At the heart of this infrastructure, the electric vehicle relay plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth and safe flow of power from the charging station to the vehicle’s battery. One of the key standards that help regulate these relays and guarantee their performance is the IEC 61811 EV Relay standard. This standard outlines the necessary requirements for relays used in EV charging systems, ensuring safety, durability, and functionality under various conditions.

IEC 61811 EV Relay

    Overview of IEC 61811 EV Relay Standard
    IEC 61811 is a globally recognized standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that specifically addresses the performance and reliability of relays in various industrial applications, including electric vehicle (EV) charging. It covers the design, testing, and operational aspects of relays to ensure their effectiveness in controlling high-voltage and high-current situations, which are typical in EV charging environments.
    The main aim of the IEC 61811 standard for EV relays is to establish clear and uniform guidelines for manufacturers and users, ensuring that the relays used in EV charging stations are safe, durable, and meet performance expectations over a long service life.
