Guides & Insights
Practical, no-nonsense guides on calibration, choosing the right instrument, electrical safety, predictive maintenance and compliance — written by Singapore's test & measurement specialists.
Type 1 vs Type 2 vs CCS2: EV Charging Connectors Compared
How Type 1, Type 2 and CCS2 EV charging connectors actually differ electrically, which one Singapore mandates for public charging, and what each means for test and installation work.
Read articleEarth Fault Loop Impedance Testing at EV Charging Points
Why earth fault loop impedance (Zs) testing at an EV charging point is not the same job as testing a normal socket outlet, with the calculation, a worked example, and the faults engineers actually find.
E-MobilityInsulation Resistance Testing for EV Charging Circuits
How insulation resistance testing differs between AC and DC EV charging circuits, why a DC fast charger needs a continuously running insulation monitoring device on top of a megger test, and how to verify both actually work.
E-MobilityEV Charger Installation Compliance in Singapore: LTA, EMA and BCA Explained
Singapore EV charger compliance runs through two separate regulators, LTA for the charger itself and EMA for the fixed electrical installation, plus a parallel BCA/SCDF fire-code layer. Here is how they actually fit together.
E-MobilityEV Charging Modes 2, 3 and 4 Explained: The Electrical Differences That Matter for Testing
Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4 EV charging are not just "slow, medium and fast." Each mode moves the control pilot function, protection device and communication method to a different physical location in the circuit, changing how you test it.
E-MobilityReading Fluke FEV350 and FEV500 Test Results and Fault Indications
Neither the FEV350 nor the FEV500 uses numbered "error codes." Here is what their actual test symbols, colour indicators and failed results mean, and how to tell a real charger fault from a normal design difference.
E-MobilityFluke TruTest Software for EV Charging Reports: A Practical Workflow Guide
How test data actually moves from a Fluke FEV350 or FEV500 into a client-ready report, how the on-device project structure is meant to be used, and how firmware updates and support data exports work.
E-MobilityPreventive Maintenance for EV Chargers and EV Test Equipment
Two separate maintenance programmes sit behind every EV charging site, one for the charger itself, one for the test equipment used to verify it. A practical, honest schedule for both.
E-MobilityRenting vs Buying an EV Charging Station Analyzer: The Real Numbers
The purchase price on a quotation is the smallest number in this decision. A break-even framework built on real cost categories, not brand loyalty, with the placeholder figures clearly marked as illustrative only.
E-MobilityWhat MCSTs and Facilities Managers Need to Know Before Mandating EV Charger Testing
A practical, non-engineer's checklist for MCST councils and facilities managers: what approvals an EV charger actually needs, what to ask a contractor for, and the recurring costs most committees don't budget for.
