Are you talking about CS6365?TonyWilliams said:John, do you have the hard to find construction cable adapter? The one with a center pin?

U bought mine on ebay.. Seem to remember it was about $35,,,TonyWilliams said:Ingineer said:Are you talking about CS6365?TonyWilliams said:John, do you have the hard to find construction cable adapter? The one with a center pin?

Ya, that one.
Yes, I can make an adapter with the CS6365 plug (thanks Phil for the reference!) Of course, I'd have to order the plug, so give it a few days. And these plugs are expensive. The total price would be $69 shipped. If interested send me a PM.TonyWilliams said:John, do you have the hard to find construction cable adapter? The one with a center pin?
Ingineer said:I'm not sure how you were seeing 270v, but actually the EVSE would likely survive it, not so sure about the Leaf's on-board charger though! I wouldn't attempt it. If they are fed from totally different transformers, something weird could happen depending on how they were wired. In fact, something weird is already happening if you were reading 270v! :shock:

Yes, this could be added, but so far, only Mike Walsh's recent report is the only one ever seen "in the wild". Also, his has yet to be confirmed properly in any event.gbarry42 said:I assume if you're smart enough to carry a voltmeter and check the voltage first, you are also smart enough to put a small load across and see if the voltage is "real". Voltmeters are high impedance, and leakage currents can be weird.
Come to think of it, that LED circuit might be enough of a load for the purpose. Maybe adding an overvoltage indicator would be a good idea. :idea:
I thought Turbo3 made one already.

You can always add features to cover any eventuality, but personally this is one that's not needed.

Can't really disagree with her. If you've got old wiring, or old receptacles, a constant 16a draw IS a bad idea.Volusiano said:This is such an old thread to revive.

I don't disagree about the old house wiring, of course. But I disagree when she said "A bridging converter on the other hand, isn’t designed to supply the high currents that electric car charging stations require for long periods of time." That's just generalization that implies that all converters are unsafe.davewill said:Can't really disagree with her.
