[QUOTE="Creakyride, post: 551634, member: 35395"] Hello everyone. I have been told that a car charger installation at my home is not possible because the installer noticed that the mains is on a looped system. I have 2 black tails coming in my house. For this reason, the installer needs to contact the DNO to check if the cables have been already disconnected from the neighbours mains or if it needs disconnecting. Currently there is a 100A fuse. Can someone tell me if the loop is likely to be connected to the neighbour that I share the drive with? Or would be the neighbour I share the internal wall with? I live on a semi detached house. To me it would make sense that it would be the property across, that I share the drive with, as it would be a very short cable run between the two houses. That neighbour, told me that he has only one black mains tail going in to his house and that many years ago the electricity board upgraded their mains fuse from the previous 40A to 100A. The thing is... I don't recall ever seeing anyone digging a new mains cable in, which I assume it would need to be done. Has anybody had experience in this type of work? [/QUOTE]
