What happens here

After the GFCI breaker is installed, the next step is to restore power and verify the circuit's functionality and safety. The electrician closes the spa panel cover and then flips the newly installed 40 amp GFCI breaker to the 'ON' position. He then uses a non-contact voltage tester, specifically a Klein Tools NCVT-1, to check for live voltage. He first tests the wires leading from the spa panel to the EV charger outlet, and then directly at the EV charger's connection point. The tester beeps and lights up red, indicating that the circuit is live and power is successfully flowing to the outlet, confirming a successful and safe installation.

Goal: Verify the circuit is live and safe using a non-contact voltage tester.
