The EVent's gracious host O'Connell Volvo, allowed people ...
|
... to come and build their EVSE in their rear service garage
|
At the beginning with builders and helpers ready to go
|
Three tables were set up as three different stages of the build
|
The Open EVSE
designer was on hand to oversee construction
|
Each builder brought their purchased components and tools
|
Showing how the power cables will run in and out of the box
|
Begin laying out the parts for building
|
Showing the bottom power assembly, the box and its cover
|
Begin laying out the cover components
|
Preparing to mount the screws and insulators
|
Some drilling and filing of holes was necessary for a proper fit
|
Screwing down the insulated/isolated display assembly
|
Unpacking some of the smaller wiring for construction
|
Some wiring came with the connectors already crimped on
|
Each builder ran and dressed their own power wiring
|
Some cutting & striping, and crimping connectors was needed
|
The bottom assembly was mounted in the bottom of the box
|
There's both a circuit 2pole circuit breaker and double fuses
|
Front face of the assembled top cover
| EBEAA member Scott Corner tests the completed Open EVSE boxes
A modified j1772 to 14-50 adaptor was used during testing
|
Each stage was stepped through during the test
|
One builder had his own design: a different box, a 40A relay, a built-in
AC current meter, & used a tapplastics.com shaped plate ...
|
... to mount the components. The workshop was extended to 3pm so that
people could continue working.
