Why is an EV's backup power less than it's driving power?

[Commander Kinsey]

You switch one off while you cook. It's only for the duration of the power outage.

I did no such thing. If you believe I did, show me where I did.

[Commander Kinsey]

If you join the outputs together from three of those, would they phase synch?

[Commander Kinsey]

I fit what I want to fit, not what they want to fit. My house, my wiring. Easy enough to get a 24kW commercial charger destined for a car park and wire it to your house.

A garage is for storing things and for a workshop. The car lives outside.

You do that at 240V, so not expensive.

Don't use surplus words.

No, use the same cable, electrons will go both ways.

Noisy, and prone to not starting. I hate one cylinder "engines".

[Commander Kinsey]

Nobody checks that shit, just fit it. You can have a manual switch which will obviously do the same job. In the UK technically it's illegal for me to fit a new 13A outlet. WTF?!

[Commander Kinsey]

You misunderstand. A manual switch would also do the same. And a power transfer switch is just a relay, very cheap indeed. I had one when I tried solar power (which is a dead loss in Scotland, no sun).

[Commander Kinsey]

Why do you run your house on DC?

[Commander Kinsey]

At 240 volts, the cable will be cheap as it's thinner than a 12V one. Or you could run it at 400V DC from the car to there for even less, and put the invertor near the panel.

And if there's a powercut while they're already on? Now you trip the thing and your meal is half cooked and other stuff goes off like your computer and the DVR that was recording stuff.

More like 1500.

To have the full 24kW would be more convenient, you carry on regardless.

That's a weak 8kW charger you're talking about. And assuming you came home with an empty battery.

If you're out you don't need power.

I want 24kW, not 80. And I don't use that continuously.

[Commander Kinsey]

I guess most 220V stuff will run DC or AC.

[Carlos E.R.]

Huh, no.

[Commander Kinsey]

Your computer or anything else electronic with switched mode certainly will. First stage is to rectify it, which will simply do nothing. Resistive heating will be fine. Only AC motors will not work.

[Commander Kinsey]

You've just admitted you're an ignorant money wasting resource wasting upper class twit. You're the sort that will die off because you can't do anything with limited resources.

[Commander Kinsey]

It's very easy actually, and I'm about to make my own UPS cheaply doing that very thing. And had a similar arrangement when I had my own solar system.

You get a 240V-coil relay and power the coil from the grid. So the contacts move according to if the grid has power. One contact switches on the invertor. The other contact moves the load to the grid or the invertor output. Since that contact cannot be in two places at once, the inverter output can never go to the grid.

[Commander Kinsey]

Actually no I cant. I have all replies to existing conversations in a seperate folder, it's tidier and more efficient that way. If you delete context, don't expect a discussion on it.

I did google it first, why would I waste time with the likes of you if the answer is on google?

I understand you're misinformed. FFS just go try to buy one.

Unlikely. How would an invertor do that?

Life is more fun when you don't take responsibility.

I don't have insurance on anything, it's a rip off. You do realise they make money, right?

I do if and when I am proved wrong. That will never happen with you.

[Commander Kinsey]

Anybody who puts safety above expenditure is pathetic.

STOP FUCKING ABOUT WITH THE NEWSGROUPS! This belongs in THREE newsgroups. People who do not subscribe to your group are in the conversation you utterly selfish prick. Stop wasting my time adding them back in!!!!

[Commander Kinsey]

And therefore realise it shouldn't add much to the cost.

You could, depends how automated you want your house to be.

Easy enough to add your own connector forpoutput, and easy enough to plug both in when you get home.

Absolute and utter bullshit in the extreme, this is a very simple thing to do, and anyone with basic electrical knowledge can do it themselves. It's as easy as fitting a solar panel system.

STOP EDITING THE FUCKING NEWSGROUPS YOU UTTERLY PATHETIC TROLL.

[Commander Kinsey]

Were you bullied at school? You really are pathetic. Why do you feel the need to be safe? Don't tell me, you actually wear a cycle helmet and a use a seatbelt, just in case....

STOP EDITING THE FUCKING NEWSGROUPS YOU UTTERLY PATHETIC TROLL.

[Commander Kinsey]

It's not rocket science to take a 400V battery and make 240V AC out of it.

I already explained the relay to you.

I have never worked at such a place. Why can't people make their own food?

By the way, I did install my own solar system. Sold the panels to someone going to Africa, since there isn't any f****ng sun here.

You failed. Grow up.

[Commander Kinsey]

Just before the seatbelt law was introduced in the UK, only ONE THIRD of all drivers wore them. Therefore you are in a minority.

3rd last warning.

[Commander Kinsey]

Easy, use the relay I mentioned.

Awwwww, you care about workers nothing to do with you. You f****ng pathetic humanitarian.

Any sensible electrician working on the line will not assume there is no power there.

[Commander Kinsey]

Fuck the warnings. Killfile it is. You clearly don't understand usenet.
