What happens here

Pull the electrical conductors through the newly installed 3/4 inch liquid-tight flexible conduit. For this installation, the video specifies three THHN conductors: two No. 6 gauge hot wires (black and red) and one No. 10 gauge ground wire (green). These wires are appropriate for a 60 amp circuit breaker installation. Connect these wires securely to the terminals inside the EV charger unit, ensuring proper polarity and grounding.

Goal: Connect electrical conductors to the EV charger unit.

Tools and materials

No. 10 Gauge THHN Wire — The equipment ground conductor
No. 6 Gauge THHN Wire — One of the hot conductors
Screwdriver Set — Tightening terminal screws inside the charger
Wire Stripper — Stripping insulation from the conductor ends
