Interesting that the V3 superchargers use a liquid-cooled cable. Without knowing anything specific, this implies that maintaining cable temperature is the objective, not just the handle. That means that the handle sensor proxies the temperature of the entire cable. I would imagine they measured the heat-dissipation site where the coolant flows to to be where they measure the temperature for regulation, rather than the handle.
All quite interesting.
- SmellTheGlove 3y agoThe handle is probably the hottest point. There’s a mechanical connection there, so more resistance. At least, I think that’s the case.
- ssl-3 3y agoJust because they advertise "liquid-cooled cable" doesn't mean that the primary intended beneficiary of the cooling effect is the wire-bits. It could instead be the handle-bits. Both of these bits are constituent parts of the greater assembly commonly called a "charging cable," which includes [at least] both wire and connectors, and sometimes a handle.
- renewiltord 3y agoIt could mean that, yes. Do you know what it actually means? I am curious to know.
- ssl-3 3y agoNope. I am also pretty far removed from Tesla's engineering folks.
