The breaker/fuse manages the flow of electricity to make sure that nothing starts a fire. The wiring should be sized such that it can take a continuous load of 80% of the rating of the breaker, i.e. 24A on a breaker or fuse that allows up to 30A. It should not be possible to create an unsafe situation by charging at 24A on a NEMA 10-30 because the fuse or breaker in the panel should not allow this to happen; if something overdraws, the breaker or fuse should cut the power. Are you sure that this guy was actually an electrician because it sure sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about. If that circuit cannot take a constant 24A, it's not compliant with the electrical codes.Thanks. By "fight" I mean argue/negotiate. Like, would it be okay to still charge but plug into 110 outlet?
Or, would it be okay to charge from the dryer outlet if I buy a device that manages the flow of electricity? I'm not sure if Dryer Buddy does this, but there must be something.
