Hi I am new to Tesla cars and this forum. First EV and home charging experience (unless you count a golf cart
I have 2023 Model Y and a Tesla Wall Connector wired for full 48 amps. I have been using the Wall Monitor app for 3 months to monitor the charger during charging sessions. Love the technical info even if I don't understand it all yet. My questions are around the temp readings. What are the temp levels that will throw an error? I am not able to find a listing for the max safe temps. Also to be clear I am not experiencing any charging errors. My temps have been around the listed below.
162f PCBA
109f Handle
146f MCU
154f average
This week as a test I added a small blower fan to the bottom of the charger. The new air flow has changed the temp readings as follows.
142f PCBA
118f Handle
135f MCU
The fan did lower the temps for PCBA and MCU but increased the handle temperature and the charging cable temp was noticeable hotter. I think the cooler temps are pushing more amps through the charging cable and I am seeing it in higher handle temps.
