And here I am mad that home-storage server rack batteries are all 48V it seems, but for the same reasons (huge 400+ amp cables required to get decent wattages). When each car charger can do ~14.4kw you need a lot of fat cables running to battery banks
- numpad0 3y agoThat's because 48-50V is threshold for "High Voltage", what THAT sign actually signifies, and licenses are required!
- stephen_g 3y agoTechnically not, actually. By the IEC standard, 50V (RMS AC) is about the highest you can go for 'Extra-low voltage'. IEC actually has DC up to 120 V as ELV but often regional standards will have a lower value (like EU seems to be 75V and Australia/New Zealand at 60V) Only above 1000V RMS AC or 1500 V DC is considered 'high voltage'. That's why a correct sticker on domestic equipment will usually use the wording 'Dangerous voltage' or 'Hazardous voltage' or the like, not 'high voltage'. An actual correctly placed 'Danger - High Voltage' sign tends to mean something like 11kV AC
