IEEE Guide for Surge Protection of Electric Vehicle Infrastructure

The application of surge-protective devices for electric vehicle infrastructure with system voltages of 1000 V ac or 1500 V dc or less is encompassed in this guide. The document provides guidance for North American types of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and electric vehicles (EVs) that conform to the SAE J1772: 2001. The guide includes applications such as power, data acquisition, and communications-related circuitry. The guide was developed for use by manufacturers, system designers, educators, and end users of electric vehicle supply equipment.
