Overview
The zappi operates as a single-phase AC charger, which has implications for its harmonic data characteristics. Due to its design, the zappi does not generate significant harmonic emissions that would require measurement.
UK Power Networks
When engaging with UK Power Networks regarding harmonic data, it is important to clarify the following:
-
Harmonic Emissions Standard: The applicable standard for harmonic current emissions for loads under 16A is IEC EN 61000-3-2. However, as the zappi only consumes a fraction of its rated capacity (less than 75W), it falls outside the scope of this standard.
-
Charger Design Clarification: If UK Power Networks inquires about harmonic data, it is advisable to inform them that the zappi does not incorporate DC conversion. Their assumption that DC conversion is present could lead to a misunderstanding regarding the applicability of harmonic current measurements.
By providing this context, you can help ensure that UK Power Networks has an accurate understanding of the zappi's harmonic characteristics and compliance with relevant standards.
