    Ev Charger: Tesla charger by installing a commando socket

    Why not just install it properly?

    Is this relay suitable for 3kw Willis Heater

    Don't leave that loose. Mount it in a DIN rail enclosure. Bear in mind the hot press could also be moist.

    Filling out an EIC when multiple people have worked on a circuit.

    If no-one is able to take responsibility for the installation then it would seem that there is an issue with the company's processes. Someone ultimately must be responsible for it.

    How is 0.2s disconnection time met on TT?

    The reality is that it won't only be the minimal operating current in a fault, and even if there is 2 I delta n flowing then disconnection times will be much quicker. Of course we don't actually carry out a 2 I delta n test (or even need to do a 5 I delta n test anymore).

    Zs too high

    Where does BS 7671 stipulate any such limit? (And incidentally, you have already stated that the DNO have met this imagined "limit".)

    UK What should I charge to install a EV charger

    We would never charge less than a full day for an EVSE installation.

    When do Neutrals need to be switched?

    Indeed. It can be more hazardous to break the neutral in this scenario.

    Which it will be.

    Attic light off fire alarm?

    They have no heat detector which is a problem.

    Domestic Electric Vehicle charger and special location

    Unquestionably it is a Special Location (Section 722), and this must be recorded on the Certificate. Particular requirements apply to EVSE installations.

    Day 1: Who has an Electric Vehicle, either Electric Car for home, or Electric Van for Work?

    Seems very näive to me...

    BG Split load board 18th edition compliant?

    In fairness it's only guidance though. Other means are not proscribed. That is for the Designer to ascertain.

    Day 1: Who has an Electric Vehicle, either Electric Car for home, or Electric Van for Work?

    Although I'll always love Diesel, I've had an electric van for the past 11 months (Citroën ë-Dispatch Driver Pro 75kWh) and I love it. Obviously predominantly charge at home, but will stop off at an odd rapid for a few minutes the few times I need to (and add just enough and no more). I get...

    Gold card recognised ??

    I don't believe you should have any issues so long as you can present evidence of your qualifications. Assuming you've served an Apprenticeship then there shouldn't be an issue with this being recognised.

    Gold card recognised ??

    Recognised in what sense? If it's to cover health & safety then most should accept with appropriate explanation that it should be OK as an equivalent to a Safe Pass.

    Two core wiring with the same sleeve colour

    Brown & blue for switch drops is unheard of here (and incidentally expressly prohibited across the border).

    Two core wiring with the same sleeve colour

    I've never come across twin blue and would doubt that it exists as there is no obvious reason for it to exist.

    Granny charge point

    Many portable EVSEs (Mode 2 "granny" leads) are incorrectly configured to allow 13A instead of a maximum of 10A. A proper (Mode 3) EVSE would be a far, far better option.

    UK Hypervolt charger without ct clamp

    I seem to recall that written information for their approved installers listed an explicit requirement that it be wired and connected in all circumstances.
