There’s been a few recent threads about caravans, caravan sites etc, and I thought I’d post up some photos I took today while on one such site.
This is on a caravan club site, so I would assume it’s all done correctly.
Main HV transformer for just this site. 208 pitches, 2x shower blocks. Reception, shop, street lighting and I think 6 x 22kW car charge points.
Main distribution adjacent to the transformer. There may be more than one of these.
Sub distribution boards. A number of these dotted around the site. Note the earth stake cover to the left. From here each box feeds a number of bollards and the street lighting.
Standard hookup bollard. Top window shows 2x RCBO for the sockets on the side. Bottom window is mainswitch, rcd and 6A mcb for the light on top of the bollard.
The bollards also have water taps on the reverse side.
Some bollards are just lights and taps… some are single hookups, some have extra breakers for street lighting and feeds to other equipment such as the Wi-Fi nodes.
I hope this may explain to some extent where the earth stakes should go within a caravan site installation… Not at every hookup, but at the final distribution upstream of the hookup.
Sorry I didn’t have any keys to look inside each box. And I don’t think the site management would like me poking about.
