Hi all,
I've been charging my car via my dryer 14-30 outlet and a Splitvolt.
Temperatures everywhere (the cable, mobile connector brick, Splitvolt) seem fairly normal, a little warm, but nothing that is alarming.
However, the breakers themselves are hot when charging after a while. At 24A, the breaker for the dryer circuit got to 125 degrees F before I got worried and lowered the amperage for the charge. The temperature was hottest at the edge where the neutral bus bar would be. Ambient temperatures can be hot, 90-95 degrees F in the garage.
Is this delta between ambient and temperature at the breaker normal? Would appreciate everyone's experience if they've noticed anything similar.
Thanks
