My money is that it is just permanently bonded with a soldered wire...
But what you are saying is that before it first activates, it is not bonded in the Tesla. But on activation, it is going to try to increase the voltage on the neutral, and if it can, it means it is not bonded on the other...
Is it possible (or probable) that it would be smart enough to close a relay and bond neutral to ground when it sense that it isn't already bonded? That would be an interesting case but I find it hard to believe it would be built that way. If that is the case, then it would be nearly impossible...
I was looking at various options when connecting a generator (e.g. Cybertruck, F150 Lighting) with internal Neutral to Ground bond to a home panel that also has neutral to ground bond. This is assuming we cannot break the bond easily on either side (physically or with a neutral breaking transfer...
Based on my understanding above, even in the worse case situation where we are pulling 40A from the Cybertruck all on a single 120V rail, the return current would be split on the ground and netural wire only between the home panel and the Cybertruck. Roughly 60/40, with neutral wire carrying...
40A of imbalanced load is improbable as it implies that everything is flowing through the ground and nothing through the neutral at max power. The likely worse case is 20A when power is evenly split between Neutral and Ground.
The issue with the double bond, one in the panel and one in the...
Ok, so multiple neutral and ground connection is bad, say one at the main panel, and another at the Cybertruck. Do we know that Cybertruck has neutral and ground from the 14-50 outlet bonded?
If Cybertruck's 14-50 outlet doesn't have neutral bonded to ground, then amazing. For application that...
I am not an electrician, but was told that it would cause problems if there was more than a single neutral to ground bonding points in a system, that's why if you have multiple panels and sub-panels, only one of them would be bonded. I am not 100% sure why it would cause a problem, only that it...
I have searched online, forums and the official Cybertruck manual and cannot find the asnwer to this simple but important question...
Is the neutral line on the 14-50R outlet bonded to ground within the Cybertruck or not?
This question is important because one of the uses for the Cybertruck...
