Hi
We are looking to get an EV charger installed, and I asked for an SPD to be on the new CU that will be required for that.
The electrician has suggested that instead of having an SPD in the new CU, could replace the incoming isolator in the meter cupboard with one that has an SPD incorporated...
Hi,

The chaps installing the SMART meter used 16mm tails from the main DNO fuse cut out (containing 80 amp fuse) to the meter, but then used 25mm tails from the meter to the newly installed isolator (which they also installed). I...
New to the forum. Hopefully somebody can give me some advice on finding a very specific meter box for my house. A few weeks ago our house was vandalized and the vandals ripped our power meter out of the socket, breaking the meter box door in the process. The house was built in the 70s and as far...
I had an eicr done recently, the electrician gave a C2 for the meter tails having their outer insulation stripped back too far.
Can I take a piece of the grey insulation off a spare tail and cut and glue it onto the missing piece to clear the C2? Much easier than having to strip back as it's...

Hi
Has anyone seen this type of electric meter? It has the normal dial (on the left) and it has a card meter added. The card meter, I think can only read £1 cards.
At the moment, it will not accept any new cards. Apparently you are supposed to insert the card, when the red light goes green you...
Has anyone installed a Walbox EV Charger with a Power Meter to enable the Power Boost option? It's installed but there doesn't seem to be any way of confirming that the Wallbox is talking to the Power Meter. I spoke to Wallbox and they couldn't help.

Hi looking for a bit of advice about an issue I have with some work arranged by a social landlord. The landlord had to fit a new consumer unit but sent out a contractor to fit an isolator switch the week before. He also renewed all the wiring from the mains fuse and the meter tails. When the new...

I'm adding a 30 amp RV outlet to the exterior of my house.
The location I'd like to put the outlet happens to be near the gas main/meter.
Are there any safety or code issues putting an outlet near the gas meter?
