    Abstract: Described herein is an electric vehicle charging arrangement for charging an electric vehicle, including an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). The EVSE includes a power module configured for providing electrical energy to charge the electric vehicle, an output configured for connecting the power module to the electric vehicle for charging the electric vehicle, and a direct current (DC) bus having a DC+ line and a DC− line and provided between and connected to the power module and the output and configured for transporting electric energy from the power module to the output. Each of the DC+ the DC− lines is provided with a contactor configured for selectively allowing a current flow from the power module to the output. A first pre-charge circuit is provided in parallel to the contactor of the DC+ line, and a second pre-charge circuit is provided in parallel to the contactor of the DC− line.

    Abstract: A connector for electric vehicle supply equipment includes: a housing; a first electrical coupling member supported by the housing and that mates with an inlet of an electric vehicle, the first electrical coupling member including a first pin part; a second electrical coupling member supported by the housing and that mates with the inlet, the second electrical coupling member including a second pin part; and a conductive barrier supported by the housing that extends between the first and second pin parts. The conductive barrier interacts with at least one of the first and second pin parts to provide a conduction path for electrical power monitorable to evaluate electrical isolation of the first and second electrical coupling members and avoid electrical arcing or short-circuiting.
