Resistance of the electrode material has a minuscule effect on firing voltage. Probably not even measurable. Never heard of catalytic electrode materials (platinum, iridium) causing or assisting preignition. https://www.denso.com/global/en/products-and-services/automotive-service-parts-and-accessori...

If you can't hide it you can aways resist the temptation to click on it. Or can you?

You're confusing capacity, average consumption with momentarily maximum current use vs amount of people using the maximum. If 100 houses start to consume their maximum available limit (let's say 32 A) then the fuse will go out. It is as simple as that. No amount of shit will change that. Hang on. I...

To argue that a neighborhood of 100 houses only has 65-66 kW of service available makes no sense to me. This means that these houses must not be allowed to have electrical appliances, electrical HVAC, or even a hairdryer/iron for fear of causing a blackout in the entire neighborhood. Is this the ca...

The real idiot here is the one that wants to crap on about cable CSA etc. All you really need to know is that residential power cabling is sized to meet evening peak demand and that same cabling is massively oversized between midnight and 6 am. Plenty of surplus to charge EV's during that period. L...

Hint.
50 of those 100 houses switch on an electric kettle (and nothing else) and you suddenly have 120 kW in a system you say can only handle 65,74 kW.

Idiots!
- Don't they know the grid will collapse?
- Don't they know EVs don't work in cold climates?

P= U * I * Sqrt 3 P= 400 * 95A (=0,95 * 100A) * 1,73 = 65.740 W or 65,74 kW Per hour you can thus supply 65,74 kWh (look who is the idiot here) 65,74 kWh = 1.557,76 kWh per day. for 100 houses, which means 15,5776 kWh per day per household. If one house would be able to draw 63A the rest will have ...

Here is what you actually said. Are you sure I am the idiot?

Dude, it doesn't matter. You get X amount of kWh (NOTE the 'h' in kWh) per day, hour, minute, second and you can divide that over the users, period. If one uses more than the other, someone else has to use less. There is nothing more to it. Compare it to a pipe flowing water. Divert more water to o...

A residential grid is made up of 25 mm2 cables supplying on average 100 houses. Considering the cos phi it means 95A is available in that 3f grid. Making for a MAXIMUM DAILY supply of ca. 1600 kWh (P= sqrt 3*400*95) or 16 kWh per home. With an electricity consumption in a car of 20 kWh per 100 km, ...

In regards to anything electrical and grids, yes, obviously I know more than you. If you consider that an insult it is primarily your problem. Except that's not what you actually said - see below: People here have 0 idea about what a grid really means. It would be impossible for you to insult me by...

People here have 0 idea about what a grid really means. Going from production facilities, over high tension grids, mid tension grids, low tension grids and eventually to residential. That said the higher up you go the less involved it is to upgrade (up to a certain level) but the problems with EV's...

. . . the grid was at or near capacity and rolling blackouts were imminent. I can't imagine the state of affairs if even 1/3 of the daily drivers were EV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dfyG6FXsUU&t=689s So with 100% EV, the US grid would need to increase by 30%. 1/3 EV => grid would need to ...
