  In my opinion, you bought way too much wire and you did not need 6-3 wire you needed 6-2 wire obviously.

• 
  @sonovabeach2 ай бұрын

  I also purchased 6-3, mostly because it was readily available at local store, while 6-2 was not. Having said that, I'm using the white as ground lead and cutting off the bare gnd lead. Seems to me the larger ga wire for gnd is better, even if not truly needed. White lead wrapped in green tape to avoid confusion.

• 
  @bluewireelectric64454 ай бұрын

  Operating voltage from utility is typically single phase 240/120v for residential. The amperage determines the wire size. Operating voltage can vary depending on the application. This was a residential panel upgrade 400amp single phase 240/120v.

  I used 60 amp breaker, 6 gauge THHN cable and 8 gauge copper wire (for ground), 3/4 PVC conduit to run a 45 foot long cable. I see a lot of the amature in KZread (I am also an amature) use 6/2 NM cable with 50 amp breaker. I know it works because I see my friends also does it, but it shouldn't meet the code because 48A * 1.2 = 60A, so we should use a 60A breaker with wires that can carry 60A or more. 6/2 NM only can carry up to 55A. I also notice the licenses electrician will usually won't comment, because they charge $850 to $$$$$ for this kind of work.

  6/2 nm meets code when paired with a 50 amp breaker. Just gotta make sure to set the charger to 50 amp breaker so the max charging current is 40 amps.

  Only problem from 100amp to 200amp depends on ultility company, the feed might be 100amp. So you have to make sure feeders are rated for 200amp

• 
  @UNKPCRIDE5 ай бұрын

  Would someone asking for a 400 amp service get an estimate for a 200 amp feed for the home and a "provisional" 200 amp for a future panel? My assumption an estimate would include 2x 200 amp panels when someone wants a 400 amp service, What are your thoughts?

  Nice work. Are there any torque specs for the Tesla chargers?

• 
  @danfoley14295 ай бұрын

  A decent installation BUT not 100% correct and does not meet Tesla pro installer specifications. You didn't read the instructions. Must torque the connectors to specifications in the wire box and at the breaker using a torque screwdriver. Moreover you didn't follow the wire path in the wire box correctly and didn't use the included zip tie to make sure the wire does not interfere with the temperature sensor. You also are supposed to use washers with rubber or neoprene layer (they include then with the mounting screws) for waterproof installation and inside garage is considered a wet location. I know some of this is minor but torque to spec is NOT minor for continuous loads like car charging. Thankfully you used a 50 amp breaker for #6 Romex and did not make the mistake of 60 amp breaker with it (which would be OK if THHN wires in conduit). Hopefully you set up the Wall Connector for the 50 amp breaker. Also, why not just use the neutral for the ground and mark it with green tape and not use bare ground? You did a neat job though, but it would fail inspection in the Tesla One app requirements.

  Why did he land the neutral wire on the panel if it’s just capped off at the wall charger ?

• 
  @d21mike6 ай бұрын

  I enjoyed your video. Maybe I missed it but why did you use 50a circuit instead of a 60a? Was 50a the max for the panel? I am using 60a which charges a bit faster since it is using 48a (60a) instead of 40a (50). And 48a is max for most Tesla's.

• 
  @danfoley14295 ай бұрын

  He used 6/3 Romex which is rated at 55 amps, not 60 amps like THHN wire in conduit would have. So he did the right thing by pairing up with 50 amp breaker.

  @305dreamhonda6 ай бұрын

  Great Job and thank you. Please take great care when terminating the conductors, please tighten loosen and retighten, preferably torqued to spec., but very tight. Connections are often where the heat develops from resistance due to poor connection, as heat increases so does resistance and this will cause a run away that may not trip some breakers and can cause a fire. Electric cars pull a constant load and need solid installations, I like what you did just be careful my friend.

  Sad that people don’t know how to do this level of electrical , which is fairly simple, they pay people to do it for them and pay usually upwards of 500 dollars to have someone do it borderline wrong!!. The Tesla Wall charger DOES NOT SENSE the AMPERAGE its connected to. But people trust others to be knowledgeable where they are not and all it proves is human error , knowledge and pride in work aren’t always present in all things…So one MUST educate themselves to the theory at minimum so that you can pay a person for the physical labor skill but U NEED to have a knowledge of the theory of the task so you can correct and even police what you are paying for. But just allowing someone to charge you and also make mistakes,….IS INSANE!! People it’s time to actually Learn how to actually DOOOOOOO Something besides send emails, go to meetings and make slides. Too many MBA’s in the world and slide deck creators….So this guy can come in and make mistakes with your voltage on your Tesla charger and u Still pAY full price.
