I have an install coming up where there is a 40 amp supply to a garage via 2 core 4mm swa buried. due to a rather expensive patio and other works its not possible to run a new swa to garage.
Customer wants ideally to keep the sockets/lights in garage and have an ev charger.
Charger will be used maybe once or twice per week.
Has asked me about the possibility of having a priority unit in the garage. so that if the EV charger is working at 32 amps the sockets/lights wont function. if charger is not charging the sockets and lights work.
Used shower priority units a few times but never for a ev charger.
EV charger will be on a 40 amp type a RCBO. sockets are on a 20 amp radial, lights 6 amp. often uses jetwash, power tools etc in garage when working on vehicles and motorbikes.
Anybody else used one for this purpose or got any thoughts?
From my view it solves a problem due to being unable to increase or replace the supply cable.
I have seen something online about Garo recommending them for properties with high kw showers and ev chargers but not fitted one for this purpose yet.
