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?
I’ve not done my Ev course yet as it’s been cancelled 3 times due to corona and plus there isn’t a lot of call for it where I am at present, I think someone else who is olEv registered will be second fixing due to the builder getting a grant which I can’t offer.
I just want to know how best to tackle first fix.
thanks chaps
 
Not sure if I've missed something but on an recent enquiry to a local wholesaler, a fuseboard mini rcbo (double pole) type A would cost about ÂŁ14.94 + vat
Sorry miss typed my second post
should have said B type RCBO.
B types disconnect under ac, pulsing DC and constant DC current.
 
I would first check to see what charger is bring fitted. Then decide if you are fitting an mcb or rcbo... Some such as the Zappi or Andersen A2 only need an MCB the Zappi has built in type a the A2 has built in type B.
All depends on cable route of course.
Also consider the earthing. Some cheaper chargers need a rod or o-pen device. Higher spec such as those i mentioned do not and can use PME
