16 amp commando and the osg.
Discuss 16 amp commando sockets. 20 amp mcb on site guide as maximum value mcb in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
lol, I was expecting to see lots of pic's online of earth rod explosions and like but nothing yet (that I have seen) but I feel its coming.
Because it's an ev charger and like I said in the original post charges for 16 amps constant. Over time I have had them wear the bi metallic strip and start to trip. 20 amps takes the stress off and complies with IET on site guide.
This suggests it is either a poor choice of MCB or actually pulling more than 16A.
A single 16A socket shouldn't need to have an ocpd of more than 16A supplying it, if it does then it is most likely overloaded.
