So I had my connector put in per instruction with the charger. 60 Amp breaker and 18 ft of 6 gauge copper wire. Well I started a charge at 60 amp setting on the Tesla wall adapter and 1 hour or two later I felt the 60amp circuit breaker and it was very warm. I later measured it and it stats out around 76 deg and has one as high as 113 deg. I asked my electrician back over and he confirmed that he thought is was higher than he liked. He measured the AMPs on the line and it was exactly 48A at 241 volts. So I then dialed back the AMPs to 40 on the wall connector and it was max temp of 89 deg.
Has anyone installed the new Ver 3 Connector? Any thoughts on why the 60amp running at 80% is getting so hot? The electrician said he can not install on an 80 amp breaker by code unless the connector requires it.
Any thoughts?
