Re: [RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

Hi Darryl It has to do with the zero point crossing. With pure sine wave, it crosses almost vertical angle so no time spent there. Mod square wave usually has a flat crossing, totally screws certain things up. Jay Peltz power. > On Apr 24, 2018, at 8:39 AM, Darryl Thayer

I have successfully charged a Chevy Volt with a Radian 8048 set up in an off-grid system. The client has since sold the volt. It was terrible in the snow of our Western NY winters, LOL! Christopher Schaefer Chris Schaefer’s *Tel/Fax 585-229-2083 or Cell

Re: [RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

I just spoke with my ev car expert, the onboard charger controls charge by he says PWM there has always been a problem with PWM AC control on modified square wave inverters. Causing failures when the switching is coincidental. I forgot the exact reason but I have failed equipment using a

Re: [RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

Krikey! Can we all please stop using the term “modified sine wave”? It’s just marketing BS and y’all know it. Anyone who has looked at that waveform on an oscilloscope can plaining see that it is a modified square wave. When we use the BS marketing term we are lying to our clients and to

Re: [RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

As a separate item to check, make sure the grounding electrode system and neutral are all up to shape at the site. We've had problems with this with various EVs giving an error when atempting to charge. August Luminalt On Mon, Apr 23, 2018 at 11:45 AM, Ray wrote: > Pretty

Re: [RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

Hey Bob, It may not be that a modified square wave is causing the problem but rather your MSW. At 20 years old, I bet you have ringing on the waveform of your inverter (voltage overshoot during switching). Look at it with a scope. I have seen 10-12 year old inverters hitting 300+ volts PP on

Re: [RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

Pretty sure the Magnum will work, since I have a customer with a Chevy Volt running on old Trace SW4024 inverters.  Not mod sine, but they're not near as clean as the Magnums either. -Ray On 4/23/18 12:33 PM, RE Ellison wrote: I have a customer with a 20-year-old modified sine wave inverter

[RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

I have a customer with a 20-year-old modified sine wave inverter that has been no issue at all until recently when he arrived from New York City with his Chevy bolt Obviously the Bolt will not tolerate the modified sine wave and we’re discussing upgrading and we were wondering if the magnum
