Industrial and multiphase plugs and sockets provide a connection to the electrical mains rated at higher voltages and currents than household plugs and sockets. They are generally used in polyphase systems, with high currents, or when protection from environmental hazards is required. Industrial outlets may have weatherproof covers, and waterproofing sleeves, or may be interlocked with a switch to prevent accidental disconnection of an energized plug. Construction and Color Cod...
E-mobility is only as sustainable as the electricity it is powered by. So, climate-neutral mobility requires not only charging infrastructure, but green electricity to run it. If this is generated and consumed locally, it also relieves the strain on the grids and reduces costs. gridX's energy management system addresses precisely this issue and creates a sustainable and economical alternative with regional solar energy generation and consumption. EV charges as soon as Connected to Charging sta...
