I disagree - the actual current switching electronics are off-the-shelf relays. It's more like "didn't use a GFCI or AFCI breaker where one is required, but did try to address the same safety hazard those breakers address, in a way that wasn't as good as such a breaker, but isn't totally incompetent"
- schiffern 3y ago> the actual current switching electronics are off-the-shelf relays So? The system that controls the relay (with logic to prevent exposed high-voltage contacts while the car is unplugged, or danger if the cord is damaged or immersed in water) is just as safety-critical as the relay itself. > "didn't use a GFCI or AFCI breaker where one is required, but did try to address the same safety hazard those breakers address, in a way that wasn't as good as such a breaker Stop right there. What you describe is automatically incompetent, all by itself. Seriously, don't do this ever. There are extremely good reasons why anything but certified, unmodified hardware is illegal to install in electrical wiring. There are equally good reasons why you can't omit required safety hardware, even if you "tried" with something else. These laws are written in blood.
