Need some help, what is percentage US voltages on 115V, 208V WYE, 240V?

phase input that allows up to 43kW input power in some vehicles. In the cas e of the Tesla there are essentially 3 separate chargers in the car.

I can't say you are wrong about the EU Teslas charging from the 3 phase inp ut at 43 kW, but that would be pretty amazing if they did. The chargers yo u are talking about handle 24 amps each, so 17.2 kW total... at least in th e US version. My car has three of these chargers, but since my car was mad e they dropped back to two units each which still gives 48 amps, plenty of power and more than most connections will support.

While I can't say they are using the same charger boards in the EU, it woul d seem odd for them to do that. Bottom line is I can't find any info on th e max charging rate in Teslas from 3 phase power in the EU. The Tesla site doesn't easily provide that info since I'm not in the EU.

Of course, this has nothing to do with other vehicles.

t, Tesla home car chargers can be wired up with 100 amp service to drive 80 amp charging to some of the older cars. Mine will only accept 72 amps, so no point in more than 90 amps on a single charger but they can be used in parallel on a single 100 amp circuit. We derate our socketed connections t o 80% for continuous loads, not sure exactly why.

t loads. I don't see the need for 3 phase.

Actually, you need four wires. With three phase the neutral is essential f or using 240 volt circuits. In the US we only require two conductors for t he power and a smaller one for protective earth, the neutral is only requir ed if you need 120 volts. I know in the UK the whole protective earth thin g is complicated and allows the use of a system that loses safety if you ru n an extension cord outside. I don't know what the regulations require in the rest of the EU.

I looked into the US requirements extensively for a car charging port. The Tesla HPWC only requires a pair of heavy gauge wires for the power and a p rotective earth.

for using 240 volt circuits.

at those power levels you are probably going to wire it delta not wye

for protective earth, the neutral is only required if you need 120 volts.

same with three phase

So you don't have situations where you have 240V, with no neutral. That is to say you would always have the option to use the line neutral 120V?

he's Canadian but,

Our products are normally rated +10/-15%, for the EU 230V, US 115V

There are roughly 15 different outlet types in use in the USA. Maybe more! Some are 240 with neutral and ground, some are 240 with ground but no neutral. I think there is a 120-240 outlet all in one somehow. It's the Wild West.

Good info :-)

Commercial, would that be businesses, hotels, or what?

Bad design.

1. Use a stepdown transformer to drive the 120V dust collector.

1. Use a DPDT switch to turn table on and off. This eliminates the 9V battery and the power lost in the semiconductor switch. Simpler, no need for a heat sink.

ofcourse and he said so

when you need several 100W that's gets big and expensive

Your products don't determine the spec in the US.

n 240. I charge my car at level 2 chargers in lots of locations and some 9

Pretty much yes. Hotels, hospital parking deck, retail food store, retirem ent community parking. These are the ones I recall off the top of my head. I'm sure I've seen 240 volt level 2 charging, but I don't recall where th at would have been.

I don't understand the question. There are connectors that do not include a neutral. One that I know of includes the neutral, but not the protective earth and is no longer used. Was that a dumb idea! A water heater is har d wired with no connector and has no need for a neutral. Likewise the car charging units.

Lol! What part of "specification" says "close enough"?

eBay has stepdown transformers at reasonable prices. Here's a 3kW transformer for US $84.97

Lower power transformers are correspondingly less expensive.

He has maybe several hundred invested in the table saw and dust collector. He can certainly afford a stepdown transformer.

OTOH he plans to run the dust collector on a separate 120V circuit. He could tie the neutrals together so if he loses one, he will still have the other. Then he could get the 120V from one phase of the 240V as per the original, and would not need the stepdown transformer. A single DPST switch would turn everything on and off.

worst case in the spec for 120V is 103.5 - 127.2

That step down transformer you referenced is typical Chinese junk. Not UL or CSA certified so illegal to run in either the US (UL) and Canada (CSA or ULc).

Really, the plug alone is crap (look at the pins, and observe the clamp), the power cord is probably unrated and the case is probably made of light weight steel or aluminum that will bend or pop open at the first time you drop it more than six inches.

There is a reason that good quality products cost more - they are better built!

I bet they don't high-pot test this unit.

If you want a SAFE step-down or step-up transformer look at something like Hammond:

A Hammond 298GT step-up xformer rated at 1500KVA, weighs around 17 kilo/39 lbs. How much does the Chinese unit weigh? 15 lbs? Can't have much copper in the core. That's going to run rather hot when near its 'rated' output!

What's the big deal about charging at 43kw? Tesla super chargers here do s everal times that.
