Re: [EVDL] Actual current carrying ability of NEMA L6-30

Thank you, Roland and others. In hunting around on the internet I came across the RV plug adapters with a NEMA 14-50 receptacle on one end so I decided to go with the NEMA 14-50 plug pigtail that OpenEVSE has on their site. I then picked up an RV adapter with a 14-50 receptacle on one end and

Re: [EVDL] Actual current carrying ability of NEMA L6-30

Thank you, Bruce and Lee. That is the additional information I was looking for. The only way I have to measure the power factor of my Kia Soul EV+ is to charge off of 120V. Is it safe to assume that the PF on 120V will be substantially similar at 240V? Thank you again and hope you are having a

Re: [EVDL] Actual current carrying ability of NEMA L6-30

I will assume you will be only loading the connectors with today's standard of power factor corrected (pfc) chargers (no current spikes). Spiky current loads make connectors cook. If you get a chance to see an old 1990's conversion using a spiky BC-20 (light dimmer) charger that has a L6-30

Re: [EVDL] Actual current carrying ability of NEMA L6-30

I'm not sure of the quality of the sockets used by the evseupgrade adapters I have so the over time quality of the connections might be a concern. I suppose I could use the L6-30 now and when I upgrade to a faster charging vehicle and will be using the full 40A capacity I can change to a different

[EVDL] Actual current carrying ability of NEMA L6-30

Please note that I am not asking about electrical code here! I know what the code says. What is the actual sustained current carrying ability of the NEMA L6-30 plug/sockets? Just like a NEMA 5-15 can handle 20A (16A sustained) since the pins are physically the same as on a NEMA 5-20 are the L6-30
