New 85D owner.
I self installed my own 14-50 in my garage. I do have pretty extensive electrical experience but not not an electrician by trade.
I Noticed the the breaker seem warmer than i think it should be on charging.
Some Background
Garage is fed from main house panel on 70 amp breaker with #4 about a 70 ft run to Garage.
Garage has Sub panel feeding plugs and lights. (minimal loads)
14-50 is 2 feet from Sub and is fed with #6
Sub is Cutler-Hammer panel with Correct Eaton Breaker via documentation on Sub Panel.
I Dialed down current to 30 amps, Breaker is still running warm but not as warm as 40 amp setting.
Car reports voltage 243-245 on avg with no drops or throttling back by the car.
Could it be a bad breaker or is this considered normal behavior?
