Mike, L1 is only 110V as fas as I know, so 240V 50A is more than most L2 can sustain and definitely L2. I think many countries do not have L1 where the household supply is 230V (delivered as 3-phase 400V to reduce copper usage by 1/3 since the "Neutral" return only needs to be the same gauge as of each of the phases, since the phases partially cancel each other, which is similar to the common US "two phase" system that saves 1/4 of the copper as also here the Neutral is the same gauge as the 2 phase wires instead of double the surface. The standard household outlets in Europe are 230V 16A which means that they can deliver about 3kW continuously - incidentally the older Leaf L2 charger power spec (half the full L2 spec of 6kW of 240V 24A which maxes out a standard 30A dryer outlet)

I feel a little like Columbo with this, but "Just 1 more thing...": Is my dedicated meter and 50 amp 240 volt service, which I installed when I was doing my 1st full conversion in 1999, level 2 or 1?
