    Separate meter install for EV charger?

    I am looking to install an EV home charger for one vehicle, but possibly two in the future. I have a second unused (but still active) mains supply cable from a time when we had electric heaters. Unfortunately the separate meter on this supply was removed a few years back. It would seem to be...

    Electric Meter Switch Isolator wiring orientation

    Having a discussion the other day with a kitchen fitter who “also does electrics” and he is adamant that a NIC contractor told him that a meter isolation switch has to have the supply go in the bottom and the load out the top, same as a MCB. This convo came about as he said the property we were...

    Add an isolation switch on-top of the Meter isolation switch?

    In my property I currently have one of these meters that has an isolator switch (use a flathead screwdriver to turn on/off) I would like to add a Lewden enclosure with 100A isolator switch between this and the CU. Is this overkill and/or would cause confusion? The reason I thought is that the...

    Battery Help with Battery meter (golf cart)

    So I got my battery meter for my golf cart through Amazon today. I see two flat tabs where I think will need to connect directly to the battery. My question is, is there a purpose for the two round nuts above them? It looks like they would serve a purpose but not sure what to make if it. TIA

    Isolators in meter boxes

    So the niceic guy tells me the DNOs have complained to them about equipment that isn't theirs being installed in meter boxes; I know you technically shouldn't but it's often a case of what else do you do. Waterproof enclosure on exterior will look naff and be a risk, I can't find anyone who...

    Sparks when trying to test golf cart batteries with a volt meter

    I bought a used golf cart a few days ago which had their batteries replaced last year. They hooked up an am/fm radio to it and it worked fine when you flip a separate switch. There is a “Tow” switch by the batteries that I was told to switch it to when not using the cart so there wouldn’t be any...

    Hi folks, I need to upgrade the tails in and out of an existing Ampy 5235a Meter from 16mm to 25mm. Do these give out silly alarm codes if the terminal cover is removed?

    Run cable through meter box?

    I have been asked to install an external socket below the meter box. The consumer unit is directly behind the meter box and I plan to put the socket on its own circuit. The easiest route for the cable would be out of the CU, through the meter box and out of the bottom into the socket. My...
