DC METER FOR ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING STATION

A DC meter (1) for an electrical vehicle charging station having a pair of DC power supply lines (27a, 27b) extending from a charging station controller (40) to an electrical vehicle connector (28), the DC meter comprising a meter unit (2) and a sensor unit (3). The meter unit comprises a user interface (9), a sensor interface (11) for connection to the sensor unit (3), a metering interface (30) for connection to the charging station controller, and a microprocessor (10) configured to receive and process signals received from the sensor unit (3), to exchange data with the charging station controller and to receive commands from the user interface and output information to the user interface. The sensor unit is separate and connected at a point distal from the meter unit via an interconnection cable (25) for the transmission of measurement signals, the sensor unit being coupled to one of the pair of DC power supply lines (27a, 27b) configured for measuring the current flowing through said power line, the senso
