Well i also want to be able to charge without using the extra lead (belly charger). If I will leave the bike for longer or don’t trust the neighborhood. I just leave the extra cable off. So yeah i just want enough flexibility.

Also of i take my granny charger with me I only have 1 cable for the belly charger that can go on either the big cable or the granny charger or by itself. So no redundant wires.

I know it’s al a bit silly but I like it this way

It was that or a regular shuko female plug, these are way smaller, they interlock, safe when disconnected under load, and are actually waterproof when connected. A big factor is also a bit of a deterrent when charging out and about. A regular shuko plug can be disconnected and used for something else by anyone (cable can also be stolen). Now it's useless to anyone unless they have a connector (not common). Also I also use them at home for my charging setup. So less cables to carry. Just one 230V charge lead that I can plug into everything (my granny charger at home so I can double charge with that also...).

Check the specs again.  IIRC, Neutrik are not meant to be disconnected under load.

They are nice and compact and waterproof though.

Hey Togo,

Check here: https://www.neutrik.com/en/product/nac3fx-w-top

These are not the standard neutrik powercons. They are CBC safe and can be disconnected under load. It says so on the neutrik page i pasted above.

Cool!

meno male  che  in italia  le  colonnine sono tutte  da 22kw

Si, meno male.

Yes, thank goodness.

So made a cable today. A Type 2 with a 3 phase 32 Amp cable (5x6mm²+2x0,5mm²) to a single phase Type 1 plug. 2nd phase connected to a Neutrik Powercon True1 connector at the Type 1 end and 3rd phase not connected (for the moment). Some 3D printed caps for the Neutrik connectors as these are only waterproof when connected.

Haven't tested it yet, hopefully tomorrow. I think I got all the CP, PP, and resistor stuff correct.

Hi there,

any news on how that worked out ? I'm very interested in this solution if it works !

[NervEasy]

Hi,

Works perfectly no problem

[TNCreator]

Nice ! Is there any specific electronics involved in the making of the cable ? is the resistance value between pp and pe different from the standard type 2 -> type 1 cable ?
I would love to know more details about this, if you want to share them.
