Power up: Installing a Hypervolt EV charger at home

[@retro_collector8245]

Is installing the CT connection standard on all ev chargers ?

[@justinbucknellelectrical]

Yes, it’s required for load management under the “Connect and notify” for DNO unless the property is deemed to have such a low load that the charger and property does not exceed 60Amps combined.

Neat job and professional job, but I'd say be better to use ev ultra cable and d -line clips in future.

[@justinbucknellelectrical]

We will probably offer both options to our customers soon

[@robertwatt2859]

It's going to be interesting to see what all these outdoor consumer units are like inside in years to come. Will they survive the conditions ?

[@justinbucknellelectrical]

BG make a really good weather proof unit and so far seem to be the best out in the elements

Tidy job. Had you considered using 10mm meter tails? far easier & cheaper than 25mm.

apparently now the NICEIC say that does not meet the regs if not covered by a fuse this not the DNO main fuse

External consumer unit is not ideal and has questionable safety concerns

[@justinbucknellelectrical]

Quality weather proof units and high standard of installation brings no concerns in our opinion.

Are they 25mm tails ?

[@delspark]
