I note that in answer to another EV Charger question a member suggested a 40A breaker would be preferred to a 32A because of many hours at continuous full 7kW load. I am not an electrician but understand the reasoning.
I have a 7kW charger (which generally runs full load for a continuous 5 hours...
Hi all. I'm going to replace some sockets during a routine redecoration of our lounge including replacing some singles with doubles with USB charge points. From past experience of doing similar in other rooms a long time ago (certainly before the advent of WAGO connectors), I recall that it was...
Can anyone point me towards the dirt cheap end of the EVC point market, 32A or thereabouts, no PEN or WiFi built in, just dirty electrons down the right cable? Cheers! R.

Hello everyone,
Back again after receiving great advice for the bathroom a few months back. This time I'm making a mess in the kitchen.
We have a 32A MCB to radial final which goes to a cooker control switch which also has an integrated 1 gang socket. Off of this is a double socket which...
I have a 2850kw coffee machine and I need to keep it running whilst I am on the move. It is in a trailer that is set up at 32A so the inlet is a three pin 32A socket. Can I connect it to the 7 pin connector on my tow bar and if so will this produce enough juice to keep it running?
Hi, I Bought a 32A EV Charger, it comes with a CEE wall plug. I need to use it with a 60A range recepticle which I use to plug in my welder. So obviously I need to change the CEE plug into a Range plug. There is no paperwork, no schematic. As the CEE has 3 wires Red, Black and Yellow/green...
Hi all, I'm new on here....
I have an existing 32A cooker circuit with a wall switch with 13A plug hole.The manufacturer says the new oven is hardwired and is 16A.
Can I just replace the breaker in the consumer unit with a 16A one and use the existing wiring?
Current breaker is a Proteus...
I've been looking at the Wagobox, specifically the 221-4 box, and noticed that it is only classed as maintenance free if the current is 20A or less (derating factor applied to the 32A capacity of the Wago 221 Series 4 connectors) and has a tie-wrap fitted.
Do you know of any Wago maintenance...
Good morning I wonder if I could have some confirmation in regards to a radial circuit.
I have been showing apprentices different methods if wiring ring and radial circuits.
I wish to continue this next week.
I can not see any regulation not permitting the drawing enclosed, I would just like...
Hi,
I'm trying to find a timer control, or smart switch for a 32A circuit. It is for a hot tub which is expensive to run. I want the hot tub to only heat during the cheap electricity hours overnight.
There are loads of 13A timers on the market, but the only 32A ones I can find are ones that...
A really simple question. I'm sat here with my coffee and getting confused by it!
7.4kW EVCP. Would I fit a 32A or 40A RCBO? Not concerned with anything else, as it's all sorted, but the fact that the 7.4kW equates to 32.17A has thrown me. I was just going to use a 32A RCBO, but really I should...
Hi,
I have an incoming 32A single phase supply to a 16A equipment. To protect the equipment I installed a 16A MCB in between.
My question is for the cable from 32A MCB to 16A MCB, can I use 2+e x 2.5mm2 cable?
I know for 32A we are supposed to use 4mm2 cable, but the electrical shops nearby...
I have a workshop in a remote location which I rent out. The incoming supply is 3 x 16A three phase on 180m of 16mm SWA.
An upcoming customer has a machine which needs a 32A single phase supply. (Actual load about 25A.)
The energy is there, but it's split across the three phases. Is there some...
Hi everyone
my questions is regarding a ring circuit wired in 2.5mm standard twin n earth with 32A MCB however my question is hypothetical if there are 2 laundry and 2 lets say tumblers so load is not suitable for the circuit and you want to upgrade but there is no space in consumer unit to...
Hi guys, I am going to install a device, it is running microwave magnetron up to 2kW, with power supply of 230V/Single phase/ 50Hz.
According to manufacturer's instruction, it supposed to be connected to a 16A MCB/isolator for protection.
The problem now is that the location only has a 32A...
