    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    In response I got the following.... "Your understanding of the earthing requirements is correct, if you wish to use your charger to charge the car outside then regulations state the use of a TT earth is required, if the charge point is to be used inside then connection to your house earth is...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hi, I got back in touch with the installer.....and sent the following email: "There is something I was looking to clarify with you in relation to my recent charger installation. As you know the charging unit is located internally in my garage, as my primary intensions will be to charge whilst...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hi, So for point 1; sounds like I'm perfectly fine with indoor charging as it stands. I wasn't sure what you meant by bonding. For point 2; assuming i had the earth rod setup, as per my recent uploaded photos. The only obvious metal areas that come to mind would probably be the gas pipe...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hi, Hmm i'm not sure where to start with all this. There appears to have been a lot of debate on the subject, and some of the discussions i'm not even entirely sure if I fully followed or not? Please correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding. 1) The primarily use of the EVCharger will to...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    So I assume the rod is installed outside, under the ground? I assume simply a connection from this rod is routed and connected to the charging unit inside (replacing the earth of this unit from the PME). Is that right?

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Actually, when the installation team of 2 were out here. I did query about the cabling size to see if there was any possibility in charging the car outside, with the garaged closed (concerned that the cabling would not accommodate?). Installer didn't say or point out this concern; instead is was...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    I do this all the time, for the lawnmower....as I don't have an external socket - use an internal socket connected to an extension reel.

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Would like to know too now! Does it still mean charging the car outside from the inside unit is still a no-no? Again, what are the risks in doing so?

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    To be fair with the installer, it was me that stated that location. As the car charge port is located on the rear left side of the car. So naturally the best place was to have the charger where I've stated. As my car will be parked inside all of the time, this was the deciding factor of having...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Firstly, when I requested the install I obviously didnt know of these requirements on earthing etc. I asked the installer that I wanted the charging unit internally within the garage and also stated on the given location of the unit. The unit sits next to the garage door from the inside. When i...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    This was one of the main reasons why I posted on here, as i'd be more confident in getting the truth than from others without an electrical background....and only knowing some knowledge which is rather dangerous. As I didn't know any better, thought this would be the best course of action...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    I'm pretty certain there is no external earth rod installed for this. As the unit has been installed for use internally; is this perhaps the reason why no earth rod was installed or required?

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Yes certificate details see attached. Looks like its TN-C-S; Charger is EO Mini Pro. Assuming from the certificate that the work conforms to Reg BS7671? Apologies due to my lack of electrical knowledge, the last few posts regarding suitability of 10mm cabling didn't mean much? :) But I assume...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Thanks for your feedback. Is there any truth in regards to if DNO were to action future works (upgrades) or change of meter (ie smart meter upgrade) that these 10mm tails would cause any probs? Ie DNO or provider refuse to carry out works due to these tails as a result of the recent EV charger...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    No I don’t believe there’s any earth electrode outside as the charge point is hosted internal inside our garage, where the garage is part of the house. I assume earth electrode is not applicable as my unit is installed internally? I assume when you refer to the tails being ok, are referring to...

    EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

    Hi, We had a EV charger installed recently over the past day ie 32amp 7.2kw. In the fuse cupboard I’ve attached before and after photos. I have a 100amp fuse for the house. For the new EV board setup, should the 2 grey cables entering the EV board (10mm) be the same 25mm thickness as the...
