    UK Anybody know what a good standard TT connection point should look like? Is this dangerous?

    EV Charging Point TNCS?

    Hi All Sorry I know this may seem like a tedious question, but I have to install an EV Charger in an underground car park and the supply is TNCS. I know usually this requires an earth rod or a PME fault detection unit but given this application would the same rules apply?

    Morning chaps I’m starting two new builds next week and they’ve added a vehicle Charging point to each house, Do I feed this via a 6mm t&e from the main cu or have a separate cu for it on an A type RCD?

    EV charging point course: which book?

    Hello everyone, I am looking forward to do an EV course. The book suggested is Code of Practice Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment (4th Edition) and there is a spiral bound edition. Does anyone know if they are the same books? It is much more cheaper! Thank you

    I don't fit EV charging points as I am not OLEV registered. However, I am fitting a Tesla EV charger soon for a friend as I owe him a favour. The Tesla spec asks for a Type B RCD or Type A-EV RCD. Looking at Regulation 722.531.2.101 this sates the same as above. The regulation states a Type...

    Any point getting this consumer unit replaced?

    Hello, I was thinking of getting this consumer unit replaced as it is made of plastic, the lid doesn't really close properly, it hasn't been tested in awhile and I had to have my ringdoor bell supply put into another box as there was no space. Do you think it is worth it to get a new one?
