Shake Tables for EV Charging Station Seismic Certification

EV charging station of the type qualified on QuakeLogic shake tables for California seismic certification

Engineering summary

QuakeLogic's ATOM-40 and DESKTOP-V2 shake tables let manufacturers qualify EV chargers against California seismic requirements using recorded earthquakes or imported waveforms.

In short: QuakeLogic's ATOM-40 and DESKTOP-V2 shake tables are offered for EV charging station seismic testing in line with California's regulations and certification requirements. Both tables ship with free control software, replay actual earthquake recordings or synthetic sine, triangle and boxcar waveforms, and accept imported acceleration, velocity or displacement time histories, so a charger can be qualified against the motion a certification body specifies.

We’re thrilled to announce that we now offer seismic shake tables, specifically designed for testing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations in compliance with California’s Regulations and Certifications. Introducing our cutting-edge shake tables: ATOM-40 and DESKTOP-V2 – your perfect solution for ensuring resilience against earthquakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do EV charging stations need seismic testing in California?

California sits in a high seismic hazard zone and its regulations and certification programs require electrical equipment, including EV charging stations, to demonstrate it will stay safe and functional after earthquake shaking. Shake table testing reproduces that shaking under controlled conditions so manufacturers can document compliance before deploying chargers in the state.

Which QuakeLogic shake tables are used for EV charger testing?

QuakeLogic offers the ATOM-40 and DESKTOP-V2 shake tables for EV charging station seismic testing. Both are compact units managed entirely through included control software, can replay actual earthquake recordings or synthetic waveforms, and accept imported acceleration, velocity or displacement time histories so the test motion can be tailored to the applicable certification requirement.

Can a shake table replay a real earthquake record?

Yes. The ATOM-40 and DESKTOP-V2 can simulate earthquakes using actual recorded ground motions as well as synthetic waveforms such as sine, triangle and boxcar. Users may import acceleration, velocity or displacement waveforms, which lets a test engineer reproduce a specific historical event or a code-defined motion for certification runs.

What waveforms can the ATOM-40 and DESKTOP-V2 generate?

Beyond replaying actual earthquake recordings, the tables generate sine, triangle, boxcar and other standard waveforms for frequency sweeps, resonance searches and impulse-type tests. Because acceleration, velocity or displacement files can be imported, the same hardware supports earthquake engineering research, automotive studies and equipment qualification from one software interface.
