Hi All, looking for some setup advise around a new EV charger installation at a Domestic Property.

The customer has a single phase 100a supply into their main consumer unit. This then feeds a 2 bed flat electrically via a number of RCBO and MCB protected circuits. It also has a 50a Type B MCB feeding an adjacent single garage. The total length of run is 25m and is fed via a 10mm singles internally and dropping to Low Level in conduit and then 10mm 3C SWA under a path and into the garage. Within the garage is a 2nd 50a smaller consumer unit feeding 3 double sockets and a small lighting circuit both on individual breakers. There are 3 spare wares within the unit.

The customer has asked for a Rolec Smart EV charger which is supplied with its own C40 breaker which we are going to install into the consumer unit and then feed the charger via a 6mm 3C SWA. The charger is located within 2m of the garage consumer unit.

Could I please ask for anyone with experience installing these chargers to advise on the installation described above and if we need to do anything differently.

Regards,
John
 
Personally I would fit a myenergi zappi as you can use a ct clamp to monitor all the loads and ensure the charger never exceeds capacity. the zappi is far superior and unlikely to burn out, too many rolecs burn out the rcbo for me to feel happy fitting them now
