The electrician i hired did mine for $800 that included the 50 amp rated wire and the 40 amp breaker. He put a range outlet so i can plug the mobil charger. My tesla is in a garage.. so i dont need the wall charger. he also told me that he did about 400 charger installs in his life so far… not bad.. the demand is rising…. Because i only have a model 3 rwd which can only be charged at 32 amp. i don't think i would ever need a 60 amp breaker with 60 amp rated wire,,, for me 32 amp is more than enough to charge a model 3 rwd.. (actually any tesla). Maybe someday if i have extra money i would try a gen3 wall charger, if i can find one used.. but for now the mobile charger does the trick on my m3 rwd…

@judeghazaleh6134 Ай бұрын

Yeah man, great video. I was worried about installing this at first, but I'm glad it's a lot more simple than I thought. But what I really don't understand, is why you can put a 48 amp load on a 60 amp breaker, but you can only put a 32 amp load on a 50 amp breaker. Shouldn't you be able to charge at 38 amps with a 50 amp breaker? I know if you get too close to the overload threshold current of a breaker, it overheats the element of the disconnect mechanism, and can damage it, making it impossible to turn back on once it turns off, and worst case scenario it can make enough heat to cause some polymer in the fuse box to catch fire. What I don't understand is why you can get within 12 amps of the 60 amp threshold, but you can get within only 18 amps of the threshold of a 50 amp breaker. I'm thinking the element for the diffusing mechanism in the 60 amp is a little more resistant to heat then the element in a 50 amp breaker, which actually allows you to safely get closer to the maximum load of the 60 amp breaker.

Your electrician should have installed PVC expansion coupling or couplings. Also it looks like his ground wire was unnecessarily oversized. It looks like he used a full size gram of number six, but the code only requires a number 10 which would have saved money on the additionally by the 2020 code is now required to have a GFCI protection to pole breaker at the end of this VO, he mentions putting quad breakers or twin breakers in to make space in the panel. He should’ve mentioned that those twin breakers are many times not permitted to be installed in certain panels. Always follow the UL list at manufactures instructions further note if you didn’t have the breaker panel outside as close as he did, you would also need an outdoor service disconnect within sight of the charger or not more than 50 feet

I would recommend TTHN #4 and you can use a #6 or #8 ground in 3/4" conduit. This will allow you around 76A of capacity if you want to add another wall connector and share the load, that's 38a each. The cost difference for me was about $.50 per foot on the #4 wire TTHN vs. staying w/ TTHN #6.

@keithharrington4595 Жыл бұрын

I missed this one: 2020 NEC table 310.16 does rate thhn in the 90 degree column..... #6 @ 75 amps. However, section 110.14 TERMINAL CONNECTIONS rates 100 amp or less breaker terminals at 60 degrees c unless other wise marked on the breaker. This puts whatever wire that is connected to the breaker in the 60 degree column. This changes your wire rating to #6 @ 55 amps. So, in your example, you could connect #3 copper (#3 @ 85 amps) to the breaker then use 90 degree c "terminal lugs" (wire nuts if you will) to connect to the thhn to use the 90 degree c rating just to get your 75 amps on the circuit. Can a Diy'er do all this, yes! Do I recommend they do all that, no! Just use the 60 degree c column and size their wire. The panel above will get unrulely really fast if they jump through those hoops.

In this country, house power supplies use one transformer and tap or tie into the middle. This allows a 240 vac transformer to supply both 240 and two 120 lines. Some smart guy thought the lower voltage would be safer and the higher voltage would be okay for large loads. So, two hots. The neutral is tied to ground to give it zero potential or zero volts but return the 120 back to it's half of the transformer. Other countries may find this a dumb way to do things. I think it really depends on what you are used to.

So the charging head is 100% weather proof??

Yes, the wall charger is waterproof and is totally fine in the elements.

Why is there no common wire? If it was a 240v outlet (like for a dryer), it would be two hots, a ground, and a common. Why is this different?

I’m honestly not sure why. I would check the Tesla manual linked in the description and it might help you out

The charger only uses 240 volts it doesn't need 120 something that's using 120v for control wiring in the device itself that's common

Darren most EVSE are this way. Two hots one ground, neutral isn’t needed because the unit isn’t sending any electricity back to the grid. Now if installing a 1450 receptacle, it’s best to have the neutral installed for future proofing. It wouldn’t be used but, there if needed later on.

@@mostafa685 neutral wire has nothing to do with sending electricity to the grid. It’s simply a conductor tapped off the center of the transformer secondary coil. 240v potential line 1 to line 2. 120v potential line 1 to neutral and line 2 to neutral. No neutral needed is because the charger does not need 120v power.

It's like an electric water heater - there's not 110V loads in the device, so you don't need a neutral. That said, it would have been good to torque the terminals as specified in the installation instructions.

Well I will still go with just a 220 volt outlet and my Tesla mobile cable kit. I do not need any more powerful and faster charging rates. You people can spend the mega bucks if you want to for a better charger, but I don't see that need.
