Charging Your Tesla Model 3 With Just A Wall Outlet | 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

I can see the benefit of inspection, I guess (that none of your wires popped off or something?). My comment on the relays was not that they were unsuitable, but that using the 240v coil as a 240v detector may or may not be entirely reliable because of holding vs. draw-in currents, box getting dropped, etc. although that’s edge-case engineering to an excessive degree and it really is perfectly fine.

Yeah, the US connector system is a mess. I just installed a system that’s supposed to use a NEMA 6-20 plug, but the building services people installed a NEMA L6-20 receptacle (locking version). Same electrical specs, but they don’t mate. Back to lopping off the plug and wiring my own g-d connector… Arrgh.

It does seem to be an old electrician’s habit, never leaving the leads plugged into amps. Somebody commented on one of Big Clive’s videos about him doing that. Seems like a good habit to get into.

hmm, not sure why my comment went in the wrong place. looked like it was in the [ GuruBuckaroo] comment, when I pecked it in. The “unusual sensation” quip was spot on & funny!

• A 24-V dc circuit • Current waveform for surge is 8 × 20 μs; voltage waveform is 1.2 × 50 μs (these are typical industry-standard waveforms) • Peak current during the surge = 1000 A • The MOV must be able to survive 40 surges • Other circuit components (control IC, etc.) must be rated to withstand 300 V maximum

Evil Triacs, should be banned by Law anywhere in the World. How is looking a dimmer with Relays? I will love to see a picture. Or an evening filmed youtube video with it, the contact sparks are a free added effect, nice one

While the Sony A55 and A33′s singular claim to fame is its exceptional shooting speed, that’s only part of what it has to offer. Just in the last year, Sony has used its high-speed sensor technology to create a number of innovative new camera features that, on their face, have nothing to do with high-speed shooting. This hands-on report is already running far too long, so I’ll just make brief mention of some of these special Sony modes here. Even if you feel no need for 7 to 10 fps capture in your personal shooting, these special exposure modes alone would be reason enough to buy one of these cameras.

Gardner Minshew II threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score and No. 12 Washington State stopped No. 25…

Reading at least the related article and a datasheet before making comments about something is quite a heavy task to ask this days…

You like many others here can wallow in their own baseless opinions, meanwhile millions including myself very safely charge up using 120 volts almost every night. I usually use a higher voltage for the BOLT, but the ELR mostly just charges on 120 the same as most VOLTS.

For something like this I would go to a proper electrical supplier and probably would use an AC contactor relay that’s rated twice the current. Sure a contactor needs a 24V transformer but it’s a small price to pay and the current use would be insignificant compared the the hot water heater.

The microwave I recently tore apart had a hefty resistor connecting the capacitor to ground, to quickly drain it of power when the magnetron itself wasn’t energized. (The capacitor itself had a label saying there should be a resistor bridging the cap’s contacts for the same purpose.)
