We had an over temperature event here recently. In Jan 2016, I bought a 2013 Nissan Leaf. Around May, I bought an OpenEVSE. I had saved six L6-30 power cords from servers I retired. I removed the proprietary connectors and put on L6-30Rs to make extension cables. I used the combination for 18 months - usually 3 extensions and a 10-30 adaptor I made. The EVSE is limited to 24Amps.
Last week, one of the junctions got hot enough to melt the plastic of the plug. Fortunately I was home to detect it. I took it out of service until I could replace the damaged L6-30R and then I monitored the connections. One L6-30 junction and the 10-30 junction both show 100 Farenheit while in use. Is that normal? Maybe I need to exchange the surplus L630Rs with new ones. I plan to work on getting an L6-30R outlet near the parking space. But it would be nice to have confidence in these cables.
