solartim said:I had a nasty surprise this morning. Our garage door broke, so I was using the EVSE on an outdoor 120V plug, that was wired through a light switch in the garage. I had done this the previous 2 nights with no trouble, but had a very low initial charge this time, and had set up for 100%. Got lucky with just a fried wall switch, and discolored wall box, when the breaker finally tripped.
You should never have the EVSE on anything but a non-switched dedicated outlet.
