--- Quote ---You won't get one, it'll be a C1, fail. --- End quote --- Why? The very first page of the big book of rules says the regs dont apply retrospectivaly and as long as it meets the requirements for the time of installation its all good. |

--- Quote from: tom66 on October 15, 2023, 11:40:39 am ---Does anyone else think that 48V DC on the USB-C connector, especially at 5A, is asking for trouble? It seems like the small pins on device and cable would pit pretty quickly if it is removed while in use. There's a lot of potential for arcing upon removal there. --- End quote --- From what i know this is a real problem for the higher Power over Ethernet modes that also run at 48 volt, but "just" about 2 amps. You are supposed to turn the power off before you unplug the cable, or the connectors might take arcing damage. Ok, the connectors are not designed with any kind of disconnect order, unlike USB, but they use much larger contacts. So yes, i would assume there is a risk of arcing damage if you unplug a USB-C connection that is actively supplying 240 watts. |

Big Clive just did an AMPS LOAD TEST on a Chinesium power cord. Worth a look if you like melty fiery things. |
