I know these questions have been asked over and over on here but I'm running into a very specific issue that I haven't found an answer for yet.
Let's get right to it... my breaker is popping when I go to plug the charger into the outlet. Why? I'd like to figure that out. My neutral and ground bars are connected. You'll see in the picture that I wired the ground to the left side and the neutral to the right side but this doesn't make a difference. I've tried it both ways. I thought the 50amp breaker might be bad but I swapped it out and same issue happens.
Here's exactly what happens... I wire it all up just like you see in the picture with the two power wires going into the breaker, the neutral and ground to their buss bars. When I flip on the breaker, everything is good. I test the outlet and I'm receiving 110volts out of each side of the plug. But then it all goes awry when I go to plug in the gen 1 charger. The breaker pops.
I verified I have a tight fitting at each wire making good contact. I've also checked continuity between power and neutral/ground wires. Everything is checking out. I've also tried my girlfriend's gen 1 charger and it pops the breaker too.
