Hello All,
I just bought the upgrade at evseupgrade.com
I am going to hook up an L6-30 Receptacle at my Parent's house. Their main panel is in the garage right next to the garage door and I'll only need a few feet of cable.
I'm just about to buy this receptacle: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002NAT9/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2OWTFZVIG7K1P" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (I assume this is correct?)
The question is what gauge wire should I use?
How many conductors including the ground wire?
What type of Breaker?
How do I wire it up?
The EVSE I have now at home is a 40A unit and I used a two pole 50A Breaker. It used only 3 wires, (1) Neutral & (2) Hots if I recall correctly.
I'm pretty sure that the L6-30 uses a Ground, Neutral and Hot? If so then I guess it's not 2 Pole?, Sorry I'm a little confused. I can just ask my next door neighbor when everything shows up but I want to be prepared and order everything i need now.
Thanks,
Sal
