    EV Charging Point TNCS?

    Hi All Sorry I know this may seem like a tedious question, but I have to install an EV Charger in an underground car park and the supply is TNCS. I know usually this requires an earth rod or a PME fault detection unit but given this application would the same rules apply?

    Moving Connection point and meter

    Hi Guy, I’ve contacted my DNO Scottish power and they’ve quoted me a price of £760 to move my connection point and meter. I seem to be doing most of the work with them pretty much terminating it. I’ve been looking for someone else to do the work as I’ve believe it’s ‘contestable’ but I’m...

    Morning chaps I’m starting two new builds next week and they’ve added a vehicle Charging point to each house, Do I feed this via a 6mm t&e from the main cu or have a separate cu for it on an A type RCD?

    Any point getting this consumer unit replaced?

    Hello, I was thinking of getting this consumer unit replaced as it is made of plastic, the lid doesn't really close properly, it hasn't been tested in awhile and I had to have my ringdoor bell supply put into another box as there was no space. Do you think it is worth it to get a new one?
