Vehicle-to-Grid: Bidirektionales Laden lässt Akkus am stärksten altern – Golem.de

[Wayback/Archive] Vehicle-to-Grid: Bidirektionales Laden lässt Akkus am stärksten altern – Golem.de

Dass sich über smartes oder bidirektionales Laden Geld sparen lässt, ist aber kaum zu bestreiten. Das ist vor allem dann der Fall, wenn man den eigenen Solarstrom im E-Auto zwischenspeichert und für den Eigenbedarf nutzt. Doch dem steht die Anschaffung einer teuren Wallbox gegenüber.

This corrects the car-market centric article [Wayback/Archive] Bidirektionales Laden beeinträchtigt die Lebensdauer von Elektroauto-Batterien nicht – Sonnenseite – Ökologische Kommunikation mit Franz Alt

Missing C3/C4 on IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/29

I do like the [Wayback/Archive] IEC 60320 (IEC 320) Reference Chart – IEC 60320 Connectors & Plugs | StayOnline ¹, but it lacks combo C3/C4 plug/inlet:

C3 C4

From: IEC 60320 – Wikipedia (and yes: I had an old radio in my youth requiring this plug)

I bumped into the reference chart because I forgot the search term IEC 60320, and therefore searching my earlier blog posts on it ².

I did remember C13/C14 (normal appliance couplers) and C19/C20 (higher power device couplers), so I used the query [Wayback/Archive] c20 c19 amperage – Google Search giving me this table: Read the rest of this entry »

Gekleurd stopcontact met randaarde

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/13

Eerst vond ik [Wayback/Archive] Gekleurd stopcontact met randaarde en beschermingsafsluiters en van daaruit [Wayback/Archive] Rob Kalmeijer: Stopcontacten met niet alleen de (historisch) gangbare Nederlandse stopcontacten, maar meteen ook een heel mooie tabel die de algemeen aanvaarde toepassingen van de kleuren aangeeft:
