Yes, you can use the Lectron J1772 Level 2 NEMA 14-50 Electric Vehicle Charger with a 30-amp circuit, but there are a few important considerations: Charger Rating: The charger is rated for up to 48 amps, but if it is connected to a 30-amp circuit, it will be limited to the maximum current that the circuit can safely handle. Circuit Breaker: Ensure that your circuit breaker is rated for 30 amps. It's also advisable to have a dedicated circuit for your EV charger to avoid overloading. Charging Speed: With a 30-amp circuit, the maximum output will be approximately 24 amps (after considering the 80% rule for continuous loads). This means you won’t be able to utilize the full charging capacity of the charger, but you will still be able to charge your vehicle efficiently. Wiring: Make sure the wiring used for the circuit is appropriate for 30 amps (typically, this would be 10-gauge wire).
