Do you think the capitalists now running our utilities are whiter than snow?

They aren't sending blokes out in the middle of the night with increasingly small fuse sizes.

You don't use the word 'scamdemic' by any chance do you?
 
Have not seen him yet. He was assessing going all electric with an EV charger. I asked him if his supply was man enough. So it is with him. If and when I will report back what the DNO says.

As a few have noticed, it looks like a full 100A supply with a 60A fuse, so it would be interesting what they say.

Can you give references for the posts from these few people.
 
Some EV chargers come with load shedding now… (or is that most chargers?)
.....
So having a 60A main fuse shouldn’t be a problem.
Indeed.
A sign a thread is getting a bit long...when nothing seems to be being taken on board...and early answers get repeated again! (post #10)

Having just read all 52 previous posts, I gently suggest you are the only person who thinks it looks like that.
For once, a bunch of electricians actually all unanimously agree on something - that is an ex-parrot a 60A supply.
 
Bear in mind you have to apply to connect with advance permission from the DNO to have more than 60A per phase with an EV.

No. Most thought it looked like a 100A carrier and tails and supply cables but clearly a 60A fuse..
 
Some EV chargers come with load shedding now… (or is that most chargers?)
They measure the total load of the house and will cut off the charger if someone turns the shower on or something… to decrease the total load at any one time.

So having a 60A main fuse shouldn’t be a problem.
That is the case with many. But if going all electric, with a 7kW plus induction hob and maybe an 11.5kW instant electric water heater or 9Kw immersion, electric UFH and a Quooker tap, etc. Something like a Garo may need to be used to de-prioritize the heating. Assuming the EV charger has integrated load shedding, if not then that will need de-prioritizing with the likes of a Garo,

That is if it is limited to 60A. If the supply can get to 100A then matters are easier, as been mentioned in the thread.
