DAY IN THE LIFE OF A 24 YEAR OLD ELECTRICIAN - INSTALLING A CHARGEPOINT EV CHARGER IN TOUGH BASEMENT

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Four spools of THHN wire (two 6-gauge for hot, one 8-gauge for neutral, and one 10-gauge for ground) are set up on Rack-A-Tiers XL wire dispensers for easy pulling. The ends of these wires are staggered and taped together using electrical tape, creating a smooth, tapered end that facilitates easier pulling through the conduit. One person pushes the taped wires from the junction box end, while another pulls them through the conduit run towards the NEMA 1450R receptacle location, ensuring consistent and steady movement to prevent snagging or damage.

Goal: Route THHN wires from the junction box to the receptacle

Tools and materials

  • Conduit — Housing the THHN wires
  • Electrical Tape — Taping wire ends together
  • THHN Wire — Conducting electricity to the EV charger
