EV Charger Pendulum Impact Tester Description
IEC 61851-1 EV Charger Pendulum Impact Tester With Pendulum & Drop Hammer Test
The KP-IK1000A EV Charger Pendulum Impact Tester is a professional, dual-function mechanical strength testing system engineered specifically for evaluating the impact resistance of electric vehicle charging piles, wallboxes, metering cabinets, substation cable switchboards, cable junction boxes, and similar electrical enclosures. Manufactured in full compliance with IEC 61851-1, IEC 60068-2-75, IEC 62262 (IK codes), and related standards, it combines pendulum hammer and vertical drop hammer capabilities to accurately simulate external mechanical impacts ranging from IK06 to IK11 (2 J to 50 J). This ensures robust protection against accidental collisions, vandalism, and harsh environmental conditions commonly encountered in public and private EV charging infrastructure.

0-90° Adjustable Impact Angle EV Charger Pendulum Impact Tester IK06-IK11 – KingPo
Its unique movable car structure allows effortless left/right and forward/backward positioning, while the impact point and angle (0–90°) can be freely adjusted to meet various testing requirements. The reinforced specimen platform easily accommodates full-size EV charging piles and large enclosures, making the system ideal for both laboratory validation and production-line quality assurance.
Testing Principle
The test specimen (EV charger enclosure, wallbox, or critical component) is securely mounted on the reinforced sample platform. For pendulum impact testing, the appropriate striking element is raised to the calculated height and released mechanically to deliver a precise horizontal strike. For vertical drop hammer testing, the hammer is lifted and released to impact the top surface of the specimen. After each impact, the unit undergoes detailed visual inspection and functional verification to determine whether it maintains its degree of protection against mechanical impacts (IK rating) as defined in IEC 61851-1 and IEC 62262, with no cracks, deformation, or loss of safety performance.
Common Error Mitigation
To ensure consistent, accurate, and repeatable test results, operators should follow these best practices:
- Verify the correct striking element, impact energy level, and drop height before each test
- Securely fix the specimen and confirm the platform is perfectly level
- Check the impact angle and position for accurate simulation of real-world conditions
- Perform immediate visual and functional inspection after every impact
- Schedule regular inspection and maintenance of the pendulum tube and release mechanism
