Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The installer's brother, also an electrician, completes the termination of the 8/2 Romex wire inside the electrical sub-panel. The two hot wires are connected to the 40-amp double-pole circuit breaker, and the ground wire is connected to the ground bar. The installer emphasizes the importance of separating neutrals and grounds in a sub-panel for safety and code compliance. After verifying all connections are secure, the installer flips the 40-amp breaker to the 'ON' position. The charger immediately powers on, indicated by a green lightning bolt icon (power) and a blue Wi-Fi icon illuminating on the unit, confirming successful installation.

Goal: Connect the circuit breaker and energize the charger

Tools and materials

  • Electrical Panel Square D — The main distribution point for electricity in the shed
  • Multimeter Fluke — To verify voltage and continuity before powering on
  • Screwdriver — To tighten terminal screws in the electrical panel

this up. And guys, we should be on our way to calibrate this soon. All right, guys, so we got the charger installed, about to flip the breaker on. Guys, so here is the breaker panel. You can see our 8-2 Romex wires being fed right here, going down in the top knockout. We ran the wire across over here, going across to the next bay, to the charger, which is over on the other side of this wall. And here's how we ran our circuit breaker. We have a 40-amp double-pole circuit breaker right here, our two hot legs. And then our ground is being connected to the ground bar. And this is a subpanel, so we have to separate the grounds and the neutrals. So, you can see the neutrals are on the bottom, the white, and then the grounds are over here. So, guys, about to turn the breaker on, and here we go. Live. And boom, I heard a beep. So, there she is. That nice clean install, man. See that? Wires being ran over there. We have our flex right here. Boom. Fresh. Let's get it, man. You see the lightning bolt as it turns green, that's when you know you got power. And then Wi-Fi is blue. Boom, guys.
