    UK Hypervolt charger without ct clamp

    I believe it's Hypervolt's position that the CT must be fitted, irrespective of whether it will function without it.

    Supply Isolator required to be metal on TT

    That presumes that an isolator is a "similar switchgear assembly" to a "consumer unit" (single phase type tested DBO) which is doubtful.

    How to identify presence of an earth electrode

    Apologies I had a busy week last week so am only seeing this message now. Yes, as stated the electrode is required at every installation. I have always worked on the basis of that if I can't see (and verify) it then for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist. I would install a new electrode...

    Dodgy PME?

    It is illegal under ESQCR.

    Electric Car Charger

    OLEV approval would only be through the relevant company. But yes, you could install it without any benefit from OLEV grants if you want. The chargepoint (NOT charger) would, of course, need to be notified to the DNO.

    UK ENA application form for EVCP

    It's called Connect and Notify (the alternative being Apply to Connect).

    Pricing and Timing

    30% is absolutely fine. Use it myself.

    Electricians Vans, any of you have electric vans? How good are they now?

    Have a 75kWh Citroën ë-Dispatch and almost never need to use public charging (although it can take up to 100kW DC rapid charge when needed). Really can't fault it. Great van. Generally only charge it from around 30% to around 70% unless I need greater range. Had a free charging offer yesterday...

    UK Re using a 10mm cable to provide a new ring

    Just seeing this thread now, but the awkward part will be finding a suitable way to joint 10mm^2 cable to your 2*2.5mm^2 cables.

    What is it called IR testing?

    Not sure how many times I've pointed out in the comments that he shouldn't be disconnecting the cpcs when insulation testing, and yet he still does it!

    Unreasonably high invoice bill from an electrician

    The idea of contingency planning can be alien to them...

    What is it called IR testing?

    It will only do it on the first test at 1kV though. Repeated tests aren't subject to the warning.

    Does a SPD need a dedicated MCB?

    Absolutely. I have a 75 kWh Citroën ë-Dispatch. Great van.

    Unreasonably high invoice bill from an electrician

    This is precisely the issue. I had the HSE out with me a number of years ago to offer advice about RAMS (gratis in fairness to them), and these were some of the points made. It's difficult to argue with the logic too.

    Neutral Pole

    Subject to harmonic distortion...

    Unreasonably high invoice bill from an electrician

    Leaving aside the other points it is worth noting that lone working is specifically discouraged by the HSE, so it could be argued that it is never reasonable for something to be a one-man job.

    Grid limit is now import limit.

    Can you Self-Certify somehow to avoid paying for a scheme?

    Registration doesn't cost €75 - it's actually several hundred Euro. (€487.67 or some weird amount this year - it's risen quite substantially recently. Was something like €350 before that.)

    Help with Low insulation resistance reading

    TT (Direct) Earthing is essentially non-existant within the State, bar perhaps a very few relics. TN-C-S (Neutralised) applies to very nearly 100% of electrical installations.
