    Need to get Commando Socket installed but having trouble to find the right guy

    Many on here will say that compliant = safe. But this explains exactly why that is faulty logic. If I designate a garage connected to the house as a domestic setting then I am not allowed an interlocked commando. However, if I put a workbench in the garage and designate it commercial now I can...

    UK Fully reversible install

    I agree it’s not regulation compliant but you haven’t provided any technical reason that makes it unsafe. Provided there is no overloading and the connections are properly done then even a simple 32A MCB connected to a commando with a suitable load rated cable would pose no greater fire risk...

    UK Fully reversible install

    Interlocked commando is not live unless a proper connection is made so no issues with children poking things etc. Mainly cost and ease of removing it are the reasons for not going down the full EV route. I have asked the DNO about the costs of installing an isolator switch and waiting to...

    UK Fully reversible install

    The legislators make all kinds of rules but doesn’t mean they always know best. Also rules change all the time and I have seen some truly shocking electronics when having a house I purchased rewired. So it may not be relevant to you but it is to me and not wanting to discuss risks on merit...

    UK Fully reversible install

    Ok let’s go with it’s not compliant and can never be in a domestic setting. If it’s safe and works then what’s the worst thing that’s going to happen - a buyer may want it reverted? Ok easy enough. It may not get an electrical safety certificate- ok, can just disconnect the 40A MCB from the...

    UK Fully reversible install

    No what I said was “Whilst this may not be strictly compliant would it safely work?” Compliant and safety are not always the same. If not overloaded then it may not be compliant but should be safe unless you can tell me a reason otherwise. I am wanting to know if it would be unsafe and if so why.

    UK Fully reversible install

    From everything I have read this is not accurate. At worst it is a grey area. There would be no reason for commando EV chargers to be on sale if it was not allowed. Anyway my point is not if it is 100% compliant or not. Using a 13A granny charger is compliant but not the best option. A...

    UK Fully reversible install

    I am looking to implement a fully reversible solution that I can really easily dismantle if needed as it’s a rental property. There is no isolator switch and in any case I don't want to split the tails to feed the main consumer unit and a mini consumer unit. It's a Hager consumer unit with a...
