- the power electronics can be switched off by voltage signal generated control signal this opens. This results in a double isolation of the vehicle from the network.
- the drive circuit accordingly drives the switching device to open the DC+ line and the DC- line when one or more of the drive signals is provided or set.
- a control signal that is provided is therefore sufficient to open the DC+ line and the DC- line and/or the phases and the neutral conductor of the charging station and to establish a safe state.

- the DC+ conductor of the charging cable touches the SELV conductor of the charging cable in the event of a fault
- this touching during operation of the charging station i. H. if the DC+ conductor and the DC- conductor carry high DC voltages, this leads to a potential shift on the SELV conductor that is touched.
- This potential shift can be detected by the voltmeter.
- the voltmeter provides a corresponding voltage value on the output side, which can be evaluated by the control device, so that it is suitable for generating the third control signal for controlling the switching device for opening the DC+ line and the DC" line.
- a further switching device is provided in the AC circuit in addition to the switching device in the DC circuit, which is set up to open and close the phases and the neutral conductor of the charging station.
- the control circuit is preferably set up to control the further switching device, if at least one of the control signals is provided, by means of an opening signal in such a way that it opens the phases and the neutral conductor of the charging station.
- connection terminals are provided for the three phases, the neutral conductor and a PE conductor, with the residual current sensor being connected downstream of the connection terminals, the AC/DC converter being downstream of the residual current sensor, the switching device being downstream of the AC/DC converter and the terminal strip of the switching device is connected downstream, and the charging cable is connected to the terminal strip, in particular is firmly connected or attached.
- control device is set up to control, in particular to switch off, the AC/DC converter by means of a control signal generated as a function of the opening signal.
- control device switches off the AC/DC converter using the control signal when the opening signal is set. In other words, the control device switches off the AC/DC converter when at least one of the control signals is provided.
- connection terminals are provided for the three phases, the neutral conductor and a PE conductor, with an EMC filter downstream of the five connection terminals being provided, the residual current sensor being downstream of the EMC filter, the further switching device being downstream of the residual current sensor, the AC/DC converter is connected downstream of the further switching device, a DC/DC converter connected downstream of the AC/DC converter is provided, the switching device is connected to the DC/DC converter is connected downstream, a further EMC filter downstream of the switching device is provided and the terminal strip to which the charging cable is connected is connected downstream of the further EMC filter.
- the DC/DC converter is set up in particular to step up the direct voltage provided by the AC/DC converter and to provide it as a DC charging voltage on the output side.
- the DC/DC converter can also be referred to as a DC voltage converter.
- control circuit is set up to control the switching device and the further switching device, if at least one of the control signals is provided, by means of the opening signal in such a way that they open the DC+ line and the DC- line, as well as through the further Switching device the phases and the neutral conductor.
- control circuit controls both the switching device and the additional switching device, so that these control the DC+ line and the DC- line as well as the phases and the neutral conductor of the Open charging station.
- the AC/DC converter and the DC/DC converter can also be switched off accordingly. This further increases the safety of the charging station.
- the switching device is designed as a first electrically controllable power switching element and the further switching device is designed as a second controllable power switching element.
- the first power switching element is an electromagnetically switching power switching element, each of the power switching elements having a non-conductive switching state in which no current can flow and a conducting switching state in which current can flow, each of the power switching elements for interrupting a flow of energy through the charger tion is set up for the energy storage of the electric vehicle.
- control device is set up to: a) activate an electromagnetic drive of the first power switching element using a first control signal with a pick-up voltage in order to bring the first power switching element from the non-conductive switching state to the conducting switching state, b) the electromagnetic drive of the first power switching element by means of of the first drive signal with a holding voltage that is lower than the pull-in voltage after the first power switching element is in the conducting switching state, and c) driving the second power switching element by means of a second drive signal in order to bring the second power switching element from the non-conducting switching state to the conducting switching state After a current flow through the electromagnetic drive of the first power switching element has reached or fallen below a specific threshold value.
- the first control signal can in particular have different amplitudes.
- the first control signal can also be modulated differently in steps a) and b), for example by using PWM modulation (PWM; pulse width modulation).
- This embodiment has the advantage that the first power switching element is already being driven with a reduced holding current due to the reduced holding voltage at the time when the second power switching element is brought into the conducting switching state and can therefore be switched off more quickly. Since energy can only flow through the charging station when the second power switching element is conductive, in the event of a fault occurring immediately afterwards, such as a short circuit or a ground fault in the electric vehicle to be charged or the like, the first power switching element can be switched off more quickly than it is is possible without this embodiment. This increases the operational safety of the charging station.
- the term "power switching element" is understood in particular to mean that switches are involved that can switch an electrical load on or off.
- the switching element In the conductive state, which can also be referred to as the switched-on state, electrical power can flow through the switching element, which can be in the range from a few watts to several kilowatts, for example up to 500 kW. This is to be seen in contrast to pure signal switches, which are only suitable for switching signals whose electrical power is well below one watt.
- electrically controllable power switching element means, for example, a switching element that can be switched via a corresponding electrical control or control circuit.
- electrically controllable switching elements are electromechanical relays and electronic switches, which can also be referred to as semiconductor relays.
- electromagnetically switching power switching element is understood to mean, for example, a relay or a contactor which has a mechanical actuating element which can be actuated by a magnetic field that can be generated by an electromagnet, in particular a coil.
- the actuating element can also be referred to as an armature and the switchable contacts can also be referred to as working contacts.
- the non-conductive state which can also be referred to as the switched-off or open state, the normally open contacts are separated by a gap, the size of the gap depending on the maximum operating voltage applied to the normally open contacts and the required current breaking capacity of the Switching element is determined.
- Energy flow is set up, it is understood in particular that the charging station tion does not transmit any energy when at least one of the two power switching elements is switched off, that is to say is in the non-conductive state. This is achieved, for example, in that the two power switching elements are connected in series with respect to the flow of energy through the charging station.
- the housing of the charging station is doubly insulated.

- the final state of the relay is open when de-energized, unless it is welded, in which case it remains stably closed - both are feasible with a limited energy store.
- the test current is a pulsed, high-frequency alternating current which has a frequency of 1 to 5 kHz and a maximum duration of 10 ms.

- a current state of the subscriber network and/or the power supply network is taken into account in particular.
- the charging station can make a “counterproposal” via the communication module, which can be accepted by the charging electronics of the energy storage device, or the charging electronics can make its own request again. In this way, the charging station and the charging electronics communicate until the charging plan is negotiated.
- Negotiating the charging plan can be part of the pairing process when a battery is reconnected to the charging station.
- the charging station has: a communication interface which is set up to exchange data with a terminal device of the user and/or a server which in particular manages the charging station, a user interface for input from a user and/or for output to the user, and/or a power pack which is set up to convert an AC voltage provided via the phases into a predetermined DC voltage for the control device and/or the components of the charging station.
- control device of the charging station is set up to transmit the opening signal, if at least one of the control signals is provided, via the communication interface to the electric vehicle, by means of which a switching device installed in the electric vehicle, for example a DC vehicle contactor, can be opened.
- this opening signal is also transmitted via the communication interface to the electric vehicle, which then opens the DC vehicle contactor installed in the electric vehicle. This ensures that the charging cable is potential-free both from the charging station side, in particular the network, and from the electric vehicle side, in particular the battery located around the electric vehicle.
