    Type C MCB needed for EV Charging?

    Hi all, I've not a lot of experience with EV but was called to a local job to investigate a loss of power to a 32amp 7.2KW EV charger. It turned out the 32A MCB (Type B) had failed, and would not even operate when completely removed from the board. I happened to have a matching Contactum B32...

    EV Charging point installers

    I was just wondering if many folk are now involved with the installation of EV charging points? Demand in this area is obviously increasing. I'm very keen on green energy and I'm considering specialising in this area, is anyone else doing the same?
