I thought it was just fenced off prohibiting getting close enough. My bad.Yes, but aren't they covered?

The race is on the see whether this site or Sparks, NV is the first US V4 site turned on. Or even Bakersfield, CA but that would be a distant third odds-wise since there have been no V4 post sightings there.I thought it was just fenced off prohibiting getting close enough. My bad.
If you do take a pic of the labels on the cabinets, this will show us if they are the same as EU which just the stall is V4 and the cabinet is V3 or if indeed it's the first over 250 kW charger installedShould I go climb the fence tomorrow?
The handle should be the same size. NACS doesn’t vary from V3 to V4. And the supposed internal Magic Dock shouldn’t be apparent from the outside.They covers are off and clean up was finishing. I would have looked for tap to pay screen but was super short on time. It wasn’t immediately apparent from 30 feet away but the charging handle looked very big
I agree, maybe it was just an optical illusion with how big the chargers are. Also there are new protection posts where the transformer is going in and they are cleared the area for its install, however it has not arrived.The handle should be the same size. NACS doesn’t vary from V3 to V4. And the supposed internal Magic Dock shouldn’t be apparent from the outside.
I suggest you also grab: Tent, Sleeping Bag, Coffee, Baileys, Snacks, then you can really keep us posted!I live 3 miles from this site AND I have a drone might be worth a field trip...
It was it 4 miles away instead of 3 would have been a non starter but damn Baileys and coffee sounds pretty good right nowI suggest you also grab: Tent, Sleeping Bag, Coffee, Baileys, Snacks, then you can really keep us posted!

With electricity, it is about amperage. You can up the voltage on the same gauge wire and it still allows the same amperage. V3 already has liquid cooling so it likely has more to do with upping amperage than voltage. Notice the same ampacity applies up to and including 2000V for a given wire size.I think it’s liquid cooling, and the thicker insulation to keep back double the voltage
You also need thicker insulation for higher voltages, which is what the poster you are replying to said. You’ve provided a table about current carrying capacity which is different.With electricity, it is about amperage. You can up the voltage on the same gauge wire and it still allows the same amperage.

Because the cables from the cabinets to the posts were increased from 350mcm to 600mcm. This implies more amperage. You do not increase conductor diameter to increase voltage. Yes you would for insulation on higher voltage depending on the wire. It looks like 600V is the common cutoff where insulation thickness increases so it would apply in this case if we were talking about non cooled conductors. Because they are liquid cooled, that would be the increased insulation. In fact, less insulation would make the liquid cooling more efficient. I am sure all three things play a factor here.You also need thicker insulation for higher voltages, which is what the poster you are replying to said.

The liquid cooled portion is just from the post to the vehicle. And they eliminated the insulation between the coolant and the cable for V4. (immersion cooled cables.)Because they are liquid cooled, that would be the increased insulation. In fact, less insulation would make the liquid cooling more efficient. I am sure all three things play a factor here.
