Tesla Wall Connector Installation, and how an Electrician does it #tesla #electrician
What happens here
This is the most critical and dangerous step. First, ensure the power to the corresponding circuit breaker at the main electrical panel is completely turned OFF and locked out if possible. Use a non-contact voltage tester to confirm no power is present. Pull the electrical wires (typically a 2-wire with ground or 3-wire with ground, depending on the charger model and electrical system, e.g., #6 AWG or #8 AWG copper wires for high amperage) from the junction box up through the EMT conduit and into the Tesla Wall Connector. Once pulled through, cut the wires to the appropriate length. Using wire strippers, carefully remove the insulation from the ends of the wires. Finally, terminate the wires by connecting them to the designated terminals inside the Tesla Wall Connector and the junction box according to the charger's wiring diagram and local electrical codes. Double-check all connections for tightness and proper insulation.
Goal: Safely connect the electrical supply to the Tesla charger
