Why Drywall is an Electrician’s worst nightmare #electrician #bluecollar
What happens here
Once all electrical connections are complete and the Wall Connector is securely mounted, safely restore power to the electrical panel. Before connecting a vehicle, use a multimeter to verify the correct voltage (208V or 240V) is present at the Wall Connector terminals, ensuring the circuit is live and correctly wired. If available, plug in an electric vehicle or use a compatible EV charging test tool to confirm that the charger is functioning correctly, delivering power, and showing appropriate indicator lights (e.g., solid green for ready, blinking blue for charging). This step is crucial to ensure the safety and functionality of the entire installation before permanent drywall repairs.
Goal: Confirm the charger is safely operational and charging
