    EV Charger...double pole MCB?

    Points noted and maybe have been quite lucky so far installing mainly dual RCD boards. Will reconsider this but realise will need to upsell to potential customers as very often get beaten on price even installing these. Especially in these days of landlords just wanting cheapest option to gain...

    EV Charger...double pole MCB?

    That's correct yes. My job is to advise on costs and options and let customer decide. That said in 2 years of fitting mainly dual RCD boards not had anyone phoning me with any big power loss problems and if circuit schedule designed with some thought into it, it shouldn't mean major disruption...

    EV Charger...double pole MCB?

    HI all. Hope everyone well. Making some strides to start fitting EV chargers. At this stage still bit confused about some of the requirements. Am looking at installing a Hypervolt unit.

    Another question for the more wise??

    It's got only 2 circuits on that side of RCD. One being the shared oven/hob, the other being a ring circuit which I totally disconnected. I also switched it to the other RCD and same thing happened. As Murdoch said I should have put the leakage detector on it

    Supply to 10KVA tranny. Considerations?

    Thanks Fleeting. Well spotted. I'm not myself comfortable with just using the PME. Unless he can provide more info and a safe plan for earth rods won't be taking him up on it.

    Supply to 10KVA tranny. Considerations?

    Blimey really. Thanks Dave. Thanks Fleeting. I had tried to edit post to include the uprating of RCD main switch that would be required. Will dig a bit deeper into regs regarding tncs on construction sites. In what circumstances would you be particularly happy to stick with it? Also he was a...

    A very basic Futuronix question

    Thanks Andy Yes that was my concern that the LED dimming compatibility may not be great. I think best plan to try a small room initially and see how things also maybe speak to Futuronixs before hand.
