Circuit Breaker - Tesla Wall Connector Installation Manual

Circuit Breaker

NOTE: Refer to the National Electric Code
(NEC) and local electrical codes when
installing the Wall Connector. If in doubt,
check with your local building electrical
inspector.
To determine the type of electrical breaker
you need, examine the distribution panel/
circuit breaker box to identify the amperage
available at the installation site.
The Wall Connector has internal DIP switches
that allow you to adjust its operating current.
For the United States, see the recommended
circuit breaker ratings provided in the table
below. For other regions, use an overcurrent
protection device, as required by local
regulations, that is appropriate for the
corresponding setting of the Wall Connector's
operating current.

TO INSTALL A BREAKER
• Turn off AC power to the distribution
panel/circuit breaker box.
• Install the circuit breaker appropriate for
your installation site and vehicle charging
requirements.
• Run the L1, L2 and Ground wires from the
distribution panel/circuit breaker box to
the location where you are installing the
Wall Connector. Always run wiring to the
left side of a wall stud.
NOTE: When installing electrical vehicle
charging equipment with a circuit greater than
60 amps, the National Electric Code (NEC)
requires a readily accessible disconnect
located near the charging load.
