SAE J1772 or Equivalent Standard Compliant EV Charging Stations

Many electric vehicle manufacturers have adopted the SAE J1772 standard for electrical connections to an EV. The same specifications also translate into international localizations, with differing form factors. The control pilot is the primary control conductor and is connected to the equipment ground through control circuitry on the vehicle and performs the following functions:

  • Verifies that the vehicle is present and connected
  • Permits energization and de-energization of the supply
  • Transmits supply equipment current rating to the vehicle
  • Monitors the presence of the equipment ground
  • Establishes vehicle ventilation requirements

Table 1-1 shows the SAE J1772 standard mandates control pilot circuit generator parameters.

Table 1-1 Control Pilot Signal Generator Parameters per SAE J1772
PARAMETER(1) MIN NOM MAX UNITS
Voltage high, open circuit 11.40 12.00 12.60 V
Voltage low, open circuit –11.40 –12.00 –12.60 V
Frequency 1000 Hz
Pulse width(2) 5 µs
Rise time(3) 2 µs
Fall time(3) 2 µs
Settling time(4) 3 µs
Tolerances to be maintained over the environmental conditions and useful life as specified by the manufacturer
Measured at 50% points of complete negative-to-positive or positive-to-negative transitions
10% to 90% of complete negative-to-positive transition or 90% to 10% of complete positive-to-negative transition measured between the pulse generator output and R1. Note that the term generator refers to the EVSE circuitry prior to and driving the 1-kΩ source resistor with a ±12-V square wave. This circuitry must have rise and fall times faster than 2 μs. Rise and fall times slower than 2 μs begin to add noticeably to the output rise and fall times dictated by the 1-kΩ resistor and all the capacitance on the pilot line.
To 95% of steady-state value, measured from the start of transition
