What is Type A circuit breaker?
Could someone tell me what a type A circuit breaker is? In the installation instructions for a Nissan Leaf EVSE system, it says, use a 40A 240V circuit breaker for a 30A draw. Do not use a Type A circuit breaker. The electrical supply house doesn’t list their circuit breakers, by type. Help!!!

Not sure if this is what they are referring to, but a Class A breaker is a GFCI, and they probably don't want that. Others will be by shortly so check back for verification.

I think I'd call the Nissan dealer and ask exactly what they mean. A circuit breaker Type is a designation assigned by the circuit breaker manufacturer for a certain product line and isn't universal among different manufacturers.

TNX fellas. Then i’m not crazy. I’ll call Nissan to see what they mean. If I find out, I’ll post it back on the site, If no one else comes up with the answer.
