AC three phase amps to kilowatts calculation
Calculation with line to line voltage
The power P in kilowatts (kW) is equal to square root of 3 times the power factor PFtimes the phase current I in amps (A), times the line to line RMS voltage VL-L in volts (V) divided by 1000:
P(kW) = √3 × PF ×...
Single-phase systems can be derived from three-phase systems. In the US, this is done via a transformer to get the proper voltage, while in the EU it is done directly. Voltage levels in the EU are such that a three-phase system can also serve as three single-phase systems...
The display is showing that it's charging at 16A of the maximum of 32A.
So guess you are charging at 230V x 16A x 3P = 11 kW
If you were charging at 230V x 32A x 3P = 22kW
Guess you can also charge at mono-phase, then it would be
230V x 16A x 1P = 3,6kW
or
230V x 32A x 1P = 7,2 kW
Double 22kw charging setup for my carport.
Configured for loadbalancing so they individually can deliver 22kw and when charging 2 cars at the same time they split the available 27kw between both cars. Even when using the maximum available capacity for charging (27kw) that still leaves me 16kw...
19" -> 345km
20"-> 343-345km
21"-> 328km
Heatpump makes a difference of about 10km (or almost 20km when it's REALLY cold)
So best case I could win 15 to 25km of range if I go for 20" instead of 21" ...
Nah ... I'm getting the nice wheels ...
On a long distance trip like ski or summer holiday...
We replaced a Countryman SE Hybrid with the electric Volvo XC40, and the Taycan CT4S will replace the XC90. We only use the full luggage capacity twice a year. Winter holiday and summer holiday. I'm not going to size for the exception, so when we need to take a bit more luggage we'll use a...
I haven't seen anything that warrants getting the heatpump (in our climate), my dealer also could not find a good reason to get it, so I did not spec it.
The 21" wheels will reduce range a bit, but not so sure it's worth considering dropping them for only a few km's. If you like them, just get...
Also the main reason I got it ... although I should normally manage by only charging at home.
But you never know, maybe next year I'll do some more commuting ...
I also did not go for the HUD, used to have it on all my previous cars, but on the Taycan it does not make much sense imo. The dash is already showing everything you need to see, and adding HUD makes the bulge on the dashboard higher, which kind of breaks the clean look.
I was still contemplating to get the (rearmounted) bike-rack and mount some sort of box like the Thule backspace or one of the competing brands that even have a foldable version made of tarp.
But seeing the (very) limited impact on range I'll just go for the roof crossbars and use the roofbox I...
I specced the 22kw charger since I can charge at 22kw at home. Also quite a few public chargepoints support 22kw charging. But also still in dubio if it's worth it.
Soon the capacity-tarif will be here (in Belgium), and using a lot of capacity for +15 minutes determines your monthly...
Not 2 Taycans, but we're making the switch to EV with both daily cars.
The Countryman PHEV has been replaced by a Volvo XC40 P8, and the Volvo XC90 T8 will soon be replaced with a Cross Turismo.
Tested a PS2 a few months ago. It’s not bad, but it’s no inspiration either. It’s pretty fast but does not really feel fast. The ohlins suspension and better brakes are overkill since the PS2 drives as dynamic as my XC90 T8. The standard interior is ok’ish, the premium interior is a lot better...
