I have completed the 2919 course and was told during this that all chargers would require a TT connection, whether solely for the charger or as part of the full installation. Since completing the course a while ago now, I have discussed with some electricians who say they don't install an earth...
Hi All
I am buying a new house soon and plan to get quite a bit of work done to it - but not all at once.
Initially I am planning a kitchen extension and moving around some internal walls.
Eventually I would to add solar panels, EV charger and power wall to the garage which is a separate...
Hi,
Can I ask some advice on what to bury please?
This is the the front of my house in plan view. House at the bottom. Porch at the bottom left. Driveway at the top. There's a fence between the driveway and the lawn. The incoming electricity supply runs underground down the left hand side of...
Hi,
We had a EV charger installed recently over the past day ie 32amp 7.2kw. In the fuse cupboard I’ve attached before and after photos.
I have a 100amp fuse for the house.
For the new EV board setup, should the 2 grey cables entering the EV board (10mm) be the same 25mm thickness as the...
I had an email this week from PodPoint. The new Pod Point Solo EV charger does not require an earth rod and can be used with PME.
It has in built DC protection and complies fully with the 18th ed Regs.
From what I can see and having done the online little training thing, it is brilliant.
Taken...
Good afternoon ladies and gents.
Could someone please tell me if qualifications are required to install the above kit, or they need to be commissioned by someone approved to do so?
Thank you.
I went to a job today for a long standing customer of ours who had an unrelated problem.
While I was there customer asked me to look at the above charger that had been fitted in their car port. Whoever installed it - possibly Chargemasters in house team did a few things that were either clearly...
This has been discussed before but I'm still not clear and would appreciate input.
I'm installing a home EV charger (Andersen A2) and need to decide on the right RCD/RCBO to terminate the connection at the CU.
- The system will run at 32A, the charger is connected to the CU via ~20m of 6sqmm...
I install EV chargers, often under the OLEV scheme. next year all chargers subsidised by the government will have to be 'smart' we all know how the smart meter roll out is going! but it seems only a matter of time before they determine that cars can only be charged at certain times etc or must...
Hi folks
Trying to make sense of the Regs regarding RCD types for a standard 13A socket intended for electric vehicle charging. Looking at 722.531.2.101 in the 17th edition Amd. 3, type A seems to suffice unless DC residual current is known to exceed 6mA, in which case it is type B. So how do...
Hi guys, I'm having trouble deciphering some manufacturer's specifications / installation instructions for a three phase dual 32A outlet EV charger.
The model in question is the W22 wall mounted unit:
I can see that there are 2x 30mA RCD's inside the unit mounted on DIN rail.
I'm unsure...
