Electrical Outlets

Plugging in your car

Do not run an extension cord to another stall plug in (used or not) or a building. This is an offence under the bylaw and carries a fine of $70.

Each outlet will provide sufficient power for one block heater only. Interior heaters, battery warmers, or electric vehicle charging are not supported.

• Each electrified parking stall is controlled by an IPLC, which will provide power based on the outside temperature, according to the graph to the right.
• These units have two lights, a green and a red.
• A flashing green light means that the receptacle has power present.
• If you plug in and the light changes to solid green it means that you are within the wattage limits of the device and there are no wiring errors in your vehicle and power is getting to your vehicle.
• A flashing red light, means that no power is getting to your vehicle. You have exceeded the wattage limits or may have a short circuit in YOUR wiring.
• A solid red light means that no power is getting to your vehicle. You have exceeded the wattage limits or the device may be faulty.
• In the interest of personal safety, and to reduce the possibility of damage to your vehicle, it is recommended that a three-prong extension cord be used.
• The University does not assume any responsibility for damage, expense or inconvenience caused by interrupted power supply to any car heater outlet.

The plug will provide power at 100% for the first 2 minutes after the car is plugged in and then shut off for the initial delay period of 2.05 hrs. This is because the engine is warm so supplying power for this time is a waste of energy. During this time frame, the green light will be on but the block heater will not be powered.
