A few weeks working up north by the coast in January stripping 35mm h07 in a glorified tent, that was awful too

Heat shrink over the ends of the cables in charger would be a neater termination.

Top tip! Always use the Green/ green & white pair: Solid Green + Green & white - Should be easy to remember with “Green” Hawk

Very nice install lads. Too bad about the big grey PV box, but it wasn't your fault. Looks might stupid.

If I was the client, I’d ask if you can fit another BG board replacing that PV monstrosity, two small black boxes are much nicer than that huge grey thing

Invest in a good heat gun, use it to warm up the sheathing of the cable making it easier to work with.

The new ev fuse box should have been placed below the meter box . Would have looked neater.

Hi, is it cheaper to add the BG conser unit as you have in the video that to wire back from the internal consumer unit and have to use trunking and 5m of extra cable?? I mean, was the job classed S standard installation or was the BG unit an extra?

nice install, been looking at the outdoor ccu's from BG. 16mm tails on 100A fuse? If this is acceptable i'd be happy to do this myself I always use 25mm but they are a right pain sometimes!
@brad30
@brad30 Жыл бұрын
You don't even need 16mm as it's a fixed load which will never exceed 32A hence you can use 10mm or 6mm double insulated tails. 👍

My mains is shared, it has 2 black cables come into the house it terminates in the DNO fused head then is wired into a 2 gang isolator before going into the meter. Who would be responsible in getting the DNO to change it to a "none shared" supply? I've put of getting an electric vehicle because of the shared supply & prefer a petrol / Diesel as its easier to fuel up & I do between 50 & 150 miles daily. Therefore don't trust the range of electric vehicles so far, OK they might improve in the future. I'm just curious of who would be responsible in contacting the DNO, the electrician who fits the charge point or the garage supplying the car?

This supply is not a shared supply but if it was the right action is to notify the local DNO as they will split the supply usually free when its for an EV install. It is usually down to the bill payer for this but the electrician has to notify the work after. I had a shared supply job the other day and had it confirmed by the DNO I could carry out the work before it was separated. No garage will ever get involved in the install of notification

Technically you can do this install with only membership of a competent person scheme such as NAPIT which is £420. That is all that is required.
