"Plug" running hot....?

I did, didn't I? heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off the topic we go!!!!!

 

in the white and drifting snow...

 

what snow? It's sunny and 70 here.

 

Hello Sam's Dad - are you there?

 

I was referring to the handle (the j1772 plug), thanks god there is no live electricity there after charging! (or when charging is interrupted by unplugging)

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but there is voltage potential at the blue plug (1772) even after charging has completed

SGH-M919 ?

 

When I say 'live electricity' I mean something that can hurt you or even kill you, what is your definition?

 

I wouldn't go poking into the connector to find out but there's about 240 volts ac at the end of the blue plug

SGH-M919 ?

 

It's a joke, isn't it?

 

No joke I'm serious

SGH-M919 ?

 

Sorry to burst your bubble

 

my bubble's fine how's yours?

 

My bubble is tough.
I poked into the manual and found (what I knew already):
The CCID... is designed to prevent electrical current from being supplied to the charging connector when it is not connected to the vehicle, even if the plug is inserted into the socket (in the wall - giora)

 

touche. 240 volts still present but no current draw, I'll give you that

 

Big difference between voltage and current, while there might not be any current flowing the presence of any voltage could cause current to flow, and you could make the path it flows threw, it only take 1/10 of an amp to stop your heart, so don't be the path for current flow!

 

I do not agree (although I am not going to actually test it).
The j1772 becomes live only after it is connected to the vehicle and finished the "hand shake" procedure.
If you interrupt the charging or when charging is finished, the connector is dead (no live electricity).

 

ok, 0k, I'll man up and admit I'm wrong. There's a relay in the brick that connects 240 volts to the blue connector when the PIP charger circuit energizes via low voltage (12 volts?) the 240 volt circuit when the blue connector is inserted into the car's outlet. And immediately disconnects the 240 volts when the blue connector is unplugged. my bad

 

Sounds good to me!

 

same thing happens at a charging station like ChargePoint, You can hear the relay kick in at a Chargepoint station

 

My Kill-A-Watt registers about 1.2 watt draw (by brick) when car is unplugged.
