What does NEC say for 220v 20amp outdoor receptacle?
Hey there,
Tl;dr questions:
- what does NEC say about 220v 20amp accepting a 6-20 plug in an outside / wet location?
- are there any Nema 3r boxes specifically designed for this use case? I see a lot of Nema 3r boxes for 30 or 50 amp receptacles but I’m not finding them for 20 amp
Description:
I have a plug-in hybrid and I want to get a level 2 charger for it. The cars spec says it can charge, maximum, 220v at 20amps.
I was originally going to buy a big ev charger capable of 30 or 50 amps but that’s just overkill for my current needs.
There are level two chargers that use 6-20 plugs that can handle a 16 amp charge and that would be perfect for my car
So I want to run an outlet outside (no garage) that will handle that.
