I just had mine installed today with all proper copper wiring and it is set to 7 with a 100 amp breaker. My panel is a 200 amp service. No heat issues at all on my breakers and panel. It started off with a pulsing blue bar like it is supposed to have and was pretty much averaging the entire time anywhere from 14 to 17 kwh charge rate. It was consistently adding 32-35 miles of range per hour. However, at times, a solid amber light to the right of the pulsating blue bar did come on, and the charge rate did decrease to 5-7 kwh. The solid amber light did disappear at times and then reappear. It still produced 32 plus miles per hour as promised. Is this still a problem I need to deal with ? Or should I not worry about it since it is producing as promised? Any advice will be much appreciated, and please let me know if you have a solid amber light along with a pulsating blue bar as well.

As you know the pulsing amber is reducing the charge rate and that usually means you have heat issues. I set mine to 68amps and never had a pulsing amber. Did he torque the nuts in the FCSP? Not saying anything negative but some of the electricians out there think they can torque with out a real torque wrench. I was so afraid of breaking the lugs I actually put a wrench on the plastic part of the lug when I torqued it. Tough to explain in a text...... If I was you, I would try turning it down to 68amps and see if you get the pulsing amber light.
Thanks for the video, I have a question, I installed my charger it's outdoor. I have a 200A for my house and 100A for the car. the breakers for the car and the main breaker (the 200A) are getting very hot to the point that my main phase from the electrical company melted down. any idea why it happens?. btw I didn't torque the screws, can it be because I didn't torque it?
So many things that could have gone wrong. Did you follow the FCSP instructions, including wire size? Did you follow my advice on the video? I am guessing you did not put a temp probe at the breaker like I did, look at the follow up on the video, it is at the end. I am also guessing you were using the full 80 amps? Torquing is so important and that is why I stressed that so many times in the video.
look on page 17 ( you can lower the amperage ( nine setting ) ( for people who do not have an 100 amps to spar I have a 2023 ford Lighting , I have mine sect at 50 amps on a 60 amp breaker. Robert
If you went to my" follow up" section that is exactly what I did, mine is running at 64 amps. I should have mentioned the 9 position switch in the video, thanks. You can actually derate the FCSP to 12 amps. I am guessing yours is at 48 amps 👍
@@zweare1I saw some blue and brown wires and some small communication wires too..did you have to mess with those? Or did you only have to hook up the #3 copper from the panel?

Not sure if you gave enough information about the wire length and gauge
I used 3.3.3.5 CU and it was 42 feet. I thought for sure I had put that in the video
@@zweare1 where is the best place to buy this and is it copper
Copper is crazy expensive. I ended up buying mine on eBay. Seller: Bobdraper85
Link to the tools you used?
