Hi all,
I installed a 20 amp EATON GFCI breaker to charge my EV. The wire I am using in 10 AWG. The breaker warms up and also has a very very low white noise coming from it while charging. I am guessing the heat and noise are because of the GFCI circuitry but wanted to confirm. Below are the temp readings. Is there a temperature range those GFCIs operate on? At what temp should I be concerned?
Temperature on the GFCI breaker (on the side with the reset button): 108F
Temperature on the GFCI breaker (on the side WITHOUT the reset button):90F
Temperature on other breakers (not GFCI): 72F
I took those readings after 7 hours of charging.
