It's more than likely what they call a "Granny charger" which plugs into a 13A socket and many EV owners use,,, without considering that the regulations that cover sockets for supplies for EV charging apply to ALL supplies to EVSE

These are the definitions as described by BS7671.... from reading them a circuit can consist of several cables leaving a single protective device, there is absolutely no ambiguity here

A circuit is defined by the OCPD, not the cables leaving the OCPD

As you are doing this for payment...and not DIY,,,, then there are a few questions that you might want to think about a) are you competent? b) do you have any test equipment to prove that the work that you do is safe? c) does your insurance cover you for electrical work?

I've seen posts where people have issued a C2 for lack of an RCD sticker,,,, with a photo of the CU with a RCD sticker on it... also,,, cables with no fire proof fixings when they're outdoors and within a few mm of a horizontal surface,,, or only run a couple of foot from where it exits the...

By the number of complaints that are on EV installer forums

Half of the problem is that the auditing company are absolute rubbish,, massively over coding and coding things that are correct 722 and the CoP are the only real (additional) documents for installing EV charge points

Electricians do not trust a switch to work correctly,,, we prove it.... it's the one test that will save your life when working on electric switchgear and circuits

From your picture I'd say that it more than likely isn't RCD protected But without any appropriate test gear, even if you did replace the MCB for a RCBO then how would you be able to confirm that it operates correctly... as Special Location said above And being honest you, a multimeter isn't a...

It depends on the storage heaters that you're planning on buying... if they're Dimplex Quantum RF ones then they can either take a 24hr and E7 supply or just a 24hr supply (you link some internal terminations and set the charge period in the settings so that it only charges during your E7 period)

I see that you're in N Wales.. if you're close enough to Prestatyn give me a shout

TBH there's only 1 EV charge point that integrates well with load limiting, solar and battery... and that is the MyEnergi Zappi 2 What they do is monitor the current that coming from the grid, solar and battery... and then, dependant on the charge setting, send the appropriate charge to the...

A good portion of that would be rectified with a consumer unit replacement and a light fitting or two being replaced..... however, what's to say that the installation is in the same condition that it was when it was inspected and tested?

Unfortunately you just sometimes have to make a mess....... This one was damaged when fitting a curtain rail bracket,,, unfortunately the wall was dot & dabbed without any capping or trunking so it needed to be cut out at the dabs.... I made the joint using Wago's in a Wiska box with stuffing...

Only 30 years ago too!!!

1. Unless there are signs of thermal damage or loose terminations then it shouldn't need replacing.... however as it looks like you don't have RCD protection on the vast majority of your circuits then I would replace it with a metal consumer unit with RCBO's protecting the circuits 2. The...

0.00 ohms is a great reading, it means that the connection is as good as it can be

No, not EXACTLY... previously you have said that BS7671 is LAW if it's contained in the terms of a contract... this is absolutely not the case, it only makes it legally binding for the contract, it does not make it law.... you're getting contract law and tort law mixed up. The fact of the...

Putting that you must follow BS7671 in a contract only makes it legally binding for that contract,,, it does not make it law….. As you should know the only laws that we have in the trade are the H&S at work act, the Electricity at work act and the building regulations….. everything else is...

I gave up when he said that BS7671 is law Cracked me up that one did 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
