    Correct Method to extend CT Clamp cable for EV Charger (Also should it be earthed)

    I'll start with the problem. I've installed two Hive Mini Pro 3 EV chargers, and both have had the same fault, which I think I've now isolated to the CT Cable (Not the clamp or its direction). Essentially if I connect the CT Cable to the EV Charger and enable smart charging, the EV Charger...

    EV Charger reporting PEN Fault

    This is a baffling fault I've been fighting with for a couple of weeks now, so I wondered if another set of eyes will help. I installed an EV Charger a few weeks back, and all went well for a while, then the client called me to say it wasn't charging randomly. Resetting it brought it back to...

    Hi, I have just had a Hypervolt ev charger fitted, the electrician used an old unused cooker spur to feed the charger and replaced the 32a mcb with a 40a two pole rcbo. I don't think the CU was originally designed for rcbo's as there is only two neutral bars, the electrician has taken the...

    UK 32A or 40A breaker for 7kW EV Charger

    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...

    EV charger cable in wall cavity

    I would like to hide the cable to an EV charger. The consumer unit, meter cabinet and charger would all be on the same wall. About 5 metres from the charger to the meter box or 6m to the CU. It's an external wall without insulation. Would 6mm NYYJ in the wall cavity be acceptable? It would be...

    EV charger issue - Garo PME trips

    Hi. Not sure if it's the right place to ask, so won't be upset if it gets removed. Apologies if the terminology (PEN/PME/etc) is used inaccurately.
