There's a new "law" coming in at the end of June that mandates that all newly installed charge points will have to feedback usage/metering back to the DNO's,,, it also includes delaying the start time of a charge by a random time of up to 10 mins and make it so that they won't charge during...

A lot of the time when people buy/lease a new BEV they look at the slightly bigger picture regarding costs. While a new BEV does cost more to buy/lease compared to a new ICE, the running costs are much smaller. typically the cost per mile of driving a BEV is ITRO a 1/4 that of an ICE,,, and can...

Personally I think that Hybrids are/should be a niche market, however loads of people have bought them to dip their toe in the EV market and are not getting a true experience. My BEV currently costs 6p/mile , and that’s with being on a standard variable rate tariff if 24p/kWh…… so while you get...

Right now Hydrogen is absolute green washing.... it takes something like 7kW of electricity to extract the same amount of Hydrogen that will power a car for the same amount of miles that 1kW will power a battery car.... while I agree that this technology will improve, so will battery tech... I...

When you see that the vast majority of car journeys are less than 25 miles then 44kms of range is pretty decent... the problem is that you've bought a car that doesn't really suit your needs, that's not the cars fault. On a side note I don't think that any Hybrid is a good idea, when you're on...

IIRC when I did a recent course this kind of question was asked.... clipped direct needs minimum of 16mm as the sheath isn't classed as mechanical protection

I did the 18th amd 2 exam online,,,, was told that I'd need a calculator and not an app on my phone so went and bought one.... In the end I didn't need it... thankfully it wasn't that expensive, but I had to spend a far bit of time figuring out how to use it properly

Why not do what they do in the outdoor areas of pubs ,,,,, control them with a time delay switch that gives them 1/2 an hour of heat each time they press the button (via a contactor)

Not really…. A 3 phase supply needs to have 3 phase O-PEN protection, so a 3 phase charge point could end up being cheaper than a single phase one and separate 3 phase MATT-e (or similar)

YES The workplace grant is still available for businesses for their employees, and has been expanded to small businesses (inc holiday accommodation) for public use - I think that landlords and tenants come under the home charge grant now - the grant is no longer available for owner occupied...

DNO's hate it when they come across rendered in cables, so I'd expect them to say no

You can't add any diversity to charge points as they aren't a cyclic load... they tend to be full chat for 6 or 7 hours,,, however certain charge points can load curtail to protect the service fuse. If you have 3ph then you might be better off installing a 3ph charge point with all the...

I had one similar to this a year or so ago... I couldn't find a specific reg against it but ended up giving it a C3 (IIRC)

Pretty much the same as me...

Same here @binky .... if it was MOD and flew, I probably fixed something on at least one of them... fast, heavy and rotor,,, from the Buccaneer (as an apprentice) to Tornado... Eurofighter had only just come in when I left and the maintenance contract was still with the manufacturers.

Yes,,, I have (before they made a flush mounting kit),,, this is in a garage conversion and I managed to get them to put the stud work in to accommodate it, and cut elongated slots in the sides so that I could adjust the depth

Yeh, that Line conductor has thermal damage.... and the neutral bar and probably several of the terminated conductors IMHO all the thermally damaged components need replacing, and the cables cut back to "bright copper".... otherwise it's just going to happen again and again

Could it be Niglon Median??

With 2 showers I'd look at wiring them through a priority unit TBH.... then only 1 can work at a time

They'd test it with their meter to find out what did what (with the power off)
