What size gland did you need for the armoured cable to the Tesla wall connector? I think most glands for 6mm/3-core SWA/armoured cable all seem to be 20mm - would you recommend an insert to try and take this from 20 to 25mm+ or just a different type of gland - any recommendations? Thank you for the video - looks a tidy install 😎
Sure I replied to this haha 25mm just fits I think. 25mm plastic compression for Tesla side as you don’t want to export the houses earth. 20mm armoured good on the inside. Cheers for watching!
What size/type of gland did you need for the 6mm 3c SWA? The cutouts for the cable entry look huge on the Tesla box (25-28mm) - was a regular IP rated gland okay as you’re not earthing the wire armour in this? All the regular 6mm 3core glands for armoured cable seem to be 20mm?
Heya will! So you use a 25mm gland off the top of my head, you need the armouring for the mechanical protection but you don’t want to export the earth to the charger as you want the pen faults switched earth. So you use a plastic gland to provide electrical separation. And you earth the armoured braiding using the supplies earth
@@finneyelectrical Thanks for the detail 😎 I wasn’t sure if the armour in the cable needed earthing at each end (to the PEN fault’s switched earth) but as the glands I have for the 6mm 3core SWA are only 20mm I think it would be difficult to fit in this unit anyway (if I use an adaptor to take these up to 25mm then it probably wouldn’t be possible to get a earth nut on the inside metal thread anyway!) I think a 25mm plastic IP rated gland would probably be easiest - and earth the armour to the supply earth, then earth the earth core in the cable to the PEN switched earth?
Good job... 👍...... Good video👍
Cheers! Great job 👏
excellent electrician
Cheers!
Nice job

Great vid James. Does the tesla charger not have a CT device like other chargers & how do you connect it to the internet? Cheers
Heya it’s got a Tesla app where you connect the charger through wifi
No ct’s, just set load
👍👍
What size SWA did you use pal?
6mm 3c

You’ve got it! That’s the way you’re supposed to do it. Is it just garo you for for pen fault?
