    255v - stopping ev charger

    have not read the whole thread ? tad presumptious on your part.... well aware of the harmonisation. and for the reasons behind it. all mains electrical equipment designed for europe must be able to work on the range of that tolerance. As the uk meets that range it does not need to be 230v...

    Earth bonding on street furniture

    If every consumer board and 3 phase board is installed correctly the cable cores are behind a panel and can not be accessed without a tool. Then they are compliant. Remove the panel without a tool and you have these cables exposed then you have an issue. This is quite clear. So I dont know what...

    Battery bank fuse

    Load was just over 2kw of resistive element... so not inductive. DC is very hard to break.

    RCD Question

    In the case of the Part P Approved Document it says that works should comply with BS7671 - note that this document is non-statutory in England - however it does carry a lot of weight. And following the BS7671 makes sense. So reality is that it does have bearing.

    Earth bonding on street furniture

    trouble is there appears to be a flex cable that does not have two layers of insulation . hence the lid needs to be secured in such a way that a tool is needed to open.

    RCD Question

    Battery bank fuse

    DC is formidable - And it has to have properly rated switchgear. not just for breaking a fault, but for switching duties. below demonstration. A 2.5kw load on ac and then dc.... you can see why you really need to have the correct specification. You also need to take into consideration...

    compatible with 110V

    I'd look towards getting a 110v charger. Should be able to find one for a fraction of the price of new drills etc. Also if the supply in the Caribbean follows the us it may have 220v for high current devices. That could be used to charge your batteries. But I'd go with getting a 110v charger...

    Who is the clown being directed at.... ? Sit transformer. Isolation from mains. And a low voltage to earth. Through the centre tap. Most site shocks are line to ground. Hence using them.
