I have a couple of concerns with the way electrical guys are installing my HPWC.
- The 6/3 feeder (THHN?) is bent at a very sharp angle in the wall. When I was younger I was taught that a bend should generally be fairly wide and never less than 4 times the width of the cable and that really tight bends can result in a hotspot and potential fire. This is about 1 or 2 times the width of the cable. It's in a 2x4 wall so about 3.5" of space which is tight.
- None of the strain reliefs had enough thread depth to make it through the mounting panel and the charger itself so they just used a bushing. OK?
I don't want to make an issue out of something that isn't an issue.
Thanks,
