Looks good though I would have tried to run the cable below pebble dash level so it blends in more

​@The Cable Guy you could easily have dropped the cable after the gas and hid it under the rough cast trim on the bulk of the wall.

Great job ,only concern to me is if I was a paying customer I would of insisted the cable was routed under the unmarked rendering in cream.and run along the brick work . End result big black cable not seen on cream wall. But other than that great install.

Hi mate Nice set uo there ! Is your rcbo double too switch the neutral or single pole ? Ive been told its now part of the regs too supply the zappi with and rcd/rcbo protected circuit that switches both live and neutral conductors! Even though the zappi has built on type a and pen fault its not compliant as the built in rcd is on a circuit board

Good Job geez. I have not installed one yet but I do agree I would have tied in under the wall covering if there was enough cable? that is the only reason not to have done so unless there is another reason but apart from that very neat and nice to see. what benefit to the client is the anti tamper device does it trip the breaker?

I can't remember if I mentioned it but If you notice on the video there is a gas box on the front face of the property that is the the reason for having to go this high. Usually I would run the cable below the dpc for a more eye pleasing finish.

Hi Max, Yes I have and so has everyone that works for us. The CT clamp is not mandatory in all installations if you speak to myenergi direct, if you also read the installing guide on the CT clamp online you will find this information. This is also the exact consumer unit that BG populate designed for EV charging supplies. Thanks for your comment however, it's helps others who may have the same questions. 👍🏼
@Max-cz8by
@Max-cz8by Жыл бұрын
Apologies, I didn’t mean to come across overly critical. I know the CT clamp isn’t mandatory and you can negate it’s use through calculating maximum demand. As a Myenergi authorised installer we tend to fit the CT’s as a matter of convenience and best practice. It’s worrying that BG are providing EV CU’s with type AC RCBO’s though! I’m sure you are aware that is a major no no?! You’re right though, it’s valuable to raise these things if it helps others.

OMG that cable should have run at low level on the brickwork. The gas meter is no excuse for running the cable in this way. You could have easily dropped down after the gas meter and run it along the brickwork, you simply chose the easiest option. Your customer will be looking at that cable daily as will everyone else who passes by. Terrible choice and has spoilt the whole install. Also no CT clamps installed because once again you chose the easiest option for you. Not in your customers best interest.
