Hello,
I am having problems with the EV charger breaker overheating and tripping. Below are the details.
Eaton CH panel
50 amp GFCI double pole breaker
6 gauge wire
Heavy duty disconnect switch
Hubbel/Bryant heavy duty 14-50 receptacle
Emporia EV charger
40 amp charge rate
Torqued to specs (checked multiple times after usage)
The EV charger works for around 60-90 minutes and then the breaker trips. I checked the temperature on the breaker with a thermal camera after about 60-90 minutes of usage. 140-147 degrees! It is very hot to touch. The breaker will not turn back on until it has cooled down (30+ mins). Then it runs again for the same amount of time and the same result.
The Emporia EV charger plug temperature was around 137 degrees.
Not sure what to do. Everything is setup correctly.
Thanks!
