Choose The Best Location For The Wall Connector; Installation Considerations - Tesla J1772 Manual De Instalación

The Wall Connector has an internal rotary
switch that allows you to adjust its operating
current (refer to Set the Operating Current on
page 18). The circuit breaker should be
rated for the continuous current of 40A.
Choose the Best Location for the
Wall Connector
Determine the parking location of the vehicle
to ensure that the charge cable reaches the
charge port. The Wall Connector should be
located:
• In an enclosed garage, typically on the
vehicle's charge port side.
• In a well-ventilated area. Avoid installation
in an enclosed box, or adjacent to hot
appliances.
• 4 ft (1.2 m) above the floor.
• 8 in (190 mm) from any obstructions to
allow for cable looping.
Note: The Wall Connector is approved for
outdoor use, but it is not designed for
complete immersion in liquid. Protection from
rain is recommended but not required.

Installation Considerations

Three methods are available to install the Wall
Connector. The location of the conduit and
type of wiring determine which installation
method to follow:
• If the conduit runs along the floor or low
on the wall, use the bottom entry
configuration.
• If the conduit comes from inside the wall,
use the rear entry configuration.
• If the conduit comes from the ceiling, or if
the service wiring is thicker than 6 AWG,
use the top entry configuration. The top
entry bracket has an optional rear-facing
knockout that allows thicker service wiring
to enter from the top or rear.
Note: Throughout the manual, "conduit" is
used as the standard term for the protective
tubing that houses the service wiring. In
regions where conduit is not used (Europe for
example), a cable comprised of service wiring
enclosed in a protective jacket may be
substituted for conduit if allowed by local
regulations.

Here are some additional guidelines:
• Conduit openings are sized for 1" (25 mm)
conduit.
• Conduit needs to meet all local
regulations.
• Use an appropriate circuit breaker.
• Use a UL approved conduit connector to
ensure proper seal.
• When installing wire thicker than 6 AWG,
use the top entry installation.
