I have converted one, the older wide body leaf charging cable has a 200V 60hz transformer. Here, the frequency is 50hz so already 20% higher flux density from that. They burn out on 240Vac 50Hz dure to transformer saturation. I took the transformer out, could have got it rewound for the required voltage and frequency but as I design switching electronics went with that. I used a plug in 12V supply board, changed a resistor in the voltage sense cct to make it give 15V. Also changed the plug to the locally used 15A spar pool plug, a (10k I think) resistor in place of the thermistor in the plug as I broke the one in the plug. Can anyone point me to a source of the original matching Japanese socket? I would like to get that instead, better quality than what we use here.(NZ). The psu PCB fitted in place of the old transformer and makes it 80-265V compatible.

I understand that it can be converted to 240vac, but I haven't tried it myself. The way we drive, 120v charging has been completely adequate. _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub ARCHIVE: http://www.evdl.org/archive/ LIST INFO: http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org
