How about the different size loops the ground leads on your probes are
making.

[PSES] Solar electric cars built by college students

2017-07-18 Thread Dale Reid
Hello,

Speaking of grounding, can someone share some thoughts on what would be the
best practice regarding an earth ground for an electric car while plugged
in and charging from the grid?  Would it be best to tie a car's metal frame
to ground while it's hooked up for a charge?

[PSES] EVs and the HV wire they use

2016-02-03 Thread Dale Reid
For an electric vehicle's HV wiring, is the concept of double / reinforced
insulation practiced?  Let's say I wanted to build an electric car for use
on the road that had a 200V main battery pack.  What would be the
appropriate wire type to use in this application?

Re: [PSES] Wireless charging

2015-09-24 Thread Dale Reid
Here's another IEC publication that talks about the state of things.  I
didn't realize IEC site was a good place to start looking for info on the
topic.  There seems to be two main camps; small power (phones) and much
bigger power (automotive).

[PSES] Wireless charging

2015-09-23 Thread Dale Reid
Hello,

Question.

How the safety world is dealing with wireless charging products hitting the
market?  Which standards are they being certified to?  I'm curious what the
main issues with them are if there are any.  I assume they aren't
overloaded if someone places a pile of metal coins (or their hand) between
a charger and their cell phone for example.

[PSES] IEC 61643-11

2014-11-18 Thread Dale Reid
Hello,

Does anyone here have experience with having a product tested to IEC
61643-11?  If you wouldn't mind to share about the experience, feel free to
make direct contact.

I'm also a bit curious how common it is to see product on the market tested
to this standard.

Thanks,
Dale
