Evening all.
I have been asked to quote for an electric car charging point. The customer has specifically asked for a 32A commando socket to be fitted.
I have not fitted a home charging point before and was hoping to hear how some of you guys had done it as reading literature on it there seems to be varying ideas.
I have not been to see the customer yet although I 'think' his present earthing system is a TT as I have been there before. If I am wrong and it is PME am I right in thinking that the charge point would need its own seperate TT (if the charge point is outside)? This is what is mentioned in a copy of Wiring matters.
I would put it on its own dedicated circuit on a 32A type B MCB and if no RCD protection would provide it.
Cheers.
Ps.. I will get around to changing my avatar back!!! But at present GLENN I cannot find the previous picture that I used, i'll get you back one day :13:
