Monitoring

Regular monitoring the operating parameters of the chargers and related sub-systems / components, to facilitate early detection of any defect / malfunction for necessary corrective action. Such monitoring shall help in preventing failures. Effective implementation requires targeted mitigation actions by relevant stakeholder, as outlined in the following table for enforcement and compliance.

QnA

Q1. Which charger feature directly prevents damage due to abnormal electrical or thermal conditions?

Manual reset switch Smart charger with auto cut-off and overheat protection External cooling fans Increased insulation thickness

Q2. In the event of a charging-related electrical hazard, which monitoring-linked control ensures rapid risk mitigation?

SCADA alarms only Emergency shutoff switch accessible at each charger Remote OEM support Daily maintenance logs

Q3. Which function is enabled by integrating chargers with a central SCADA system?

Manual fault recording Real-time monitoring and remote shutdown Physical inspection replacement Reduction in staff requirements

Q4. Which onboard diagnostic feature helps detect early-stage electrical fire risks?

Voltage stabilisation Arc fault recognition Charging session timers Load forecasting

S.No.

Activities

Responsibility

Smart Charger Protection

Emergency Shutoff Switch

Central SCADA system

Onboard self-diagnostics

Insulation Failure Alerts

The following safety-critical systems and components shall be mandatorily monitored through various devices as mentioned below:

Smart Charger Protection: Install smart charger with auto cut-off & overheat protection

Emergency Shutoff Switch: Install emergency shutoff switch, easily accessible at each charger.

Integrate all chargers into a central SCADA system for:

Real-time monitoring of voltage, current, earth leakage, temperature, and system health
Remote shutdown, fault isolation, and auto-disconnect

Each unit shall include onboard self-diagnostics for:

Detection of current leakage
Recognition of Arc fault

Insulation Failure Alerts: Failure alerts in the event of insulation resistance
