What happens here

With the EV charger fully installed and secured, the final step in energizing the unit is to turn on the corresponding 50-amp breaker in the main electrical panel. Once the power is restored, the charging cable can be plugged into the charger unit to confirm it powers on and is ready for use. The video shows the electrician flipping the breaker switch to the 'ON' position and then plugging the charger's handle into the unit's port.

Goal: Activate the EV charger and verify power

  • 50-Amp Circuit Breaker — Controlling power to the EV charger

Yeah, turn on. >> Just put that air fan. >> This goes on the charger for the inspector. >> 40 amp like 40 amp working amps or 50 amp breaker? >> 40 continuous amps. Whatever goes on
