Is this the most beautiful electric vehicle charging point ever?
Join me in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside as I install an Andersen A2 Electric Vehicle Charging Point at this large period property, in situations where aesthetics are very important, the Andersen A2 Charger really shines, in this video, I explain why.

Fixing the box to the wall before attaching the cables creates a potential back injury issue. We have a little camping chair where we connect the cables while sitting with the unit across our knees. Way less bending and awkward angles. Once cables attached, then attach to wall. This allows for any mistakes in cutting the cable too short.

Next time you install an A2 and once you have stripped the cables and are happy with the fitment, pull the armoured cable back out of the A2 and mark out a template from the entry gland cut up to the 3 core ends. Any future A2 installs will be a lot quicker and easier to mark and cut each point using the same template from entry gland upwards before feeding into the A2. Bit of a minor faff the first time, but worth it.

It has a 100mm long 6mm Diameter round diamond sharpner reducing to a point. It also has a flat edge as well, perfect for hardened but intricate blades. I'm sure you would find it useful.

That is a TPN service head. There is a secondary head and that is for E7 (hence the single control fuse and E7 meters). The main head is TPN then you have that secondary TPN head used for E7. There is TPN MCBs as well fed from the main head. I see this type of setup in this area quite a bit where the incomer is TPN and then a secondary head for E7 using a TPN head just to confuse you. Also as that secondary head is fused back at the substation I would be securing the link (split con or civil duct I cannot tell) that had the SWA hanging off it. Now if you open the top part of the main head you will find three BS88 fuses going off to that TPN panel. This should only be a DNO job though. But that will be the main TPN supply. Hope this helps 🤓.

That stuby ratchet is the best thing in the world. I was working on a rather unique bit of kit on one of the new Royal Navy aircraft carries, and we had to disassemble half the system to get one board out so we could reprogram it, an American chap came over from the OEM with one of those tiny ratchets and popped it out with 2 screws we could never have dreamed of accessing! Made 25 mins to reprogram into 10, most of which was flashing the EEPROM.

In Germany, three-phase 11 kW chargers are common. For 22 kW you need the approval of the electricity supplier, for 11 kW you only have to report the installation. That is then 3x 16 amps. A disadvantage is when a car only wants to charge one phase 32 amps and is reduced to 16 amps. That would be only 3600 watts to an 11 kW three phase charging point.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this Jordan. The Anderson EV claims compliance with Regulation 722.411.4.1 (iii) and (iv) this is a single-phase charge point (iv) on a installation with a 3 phase supply (iii). With (iii) the regulation allows either a reference pin or a device that references all 3 phases of the supply, and you must allow for phase loss. As you are only connected to a single-phase it can’t comply with (iii) and according to Regulation you should not install equipment complying with (iv)

I have an Andersen A2 and a Tesla M3LR, but I cannot get it to work with the Andersen “Scheduled” charging feature of their Konnect+ app. When the scheduled charge kicks in the Tesla only sees 5amps and therefore says it will take hours and hours to charge. This doesn’t happen if I don’t use the scheduled charge feature and just plug the A2 into the Tesla, it then sees 32amps and charges normally. I reported it to Andersen, but unhelpful they said it is a Tesla issue. What is your view on the A2 and scheduled charging with a Tesla please,

@JasperJanssen
@JasperJanssen 2 жыл бұрын
Four pairs is more than one. So for future proofing, go with that one, especially if the cost differential is not that significant compared to what you’d pay someone to dig a new trench for more cable. There’s a bunch of current charge points that can already handle up to three current transformers, on three separate pairs of wire. But then there are also usually solutions for the monitoring of those CTs to be done at the site and just transmit data, usually wirelessly, to the charge point. So… I mean, this really is a “just in case” sort of outlay. Even the single pair is, really. But I have no idea what the effective extra cost is from just power to single pair to cat5. But my bet is that single pair or cat5 isn’t a huge difference in cost. A secondary usage for these cables, which is not what they’re marketed for, but… outbuildings. The shed/pool house/granny annex at the back of the garden. Those are *immensely* helped by power+cat5 in one cable.

Alternative to type B RCD is the type A+EV, but there's only one manufacturer for that (Doepke). It's a type A RCD with a 6mA DC protection.

Pro Bike Tools do a very small torque wrench set , for working on cycles but will do the same job. From 2-20 I believe.

Great vid, fitted on of these last week. NICE. The spec sheet says you need to be fitting an A type RCBO upstream or A type RCD + mcb or I’m reading it wrong? Great news about your electric van, I’ve been waiting for mine for over 3 months.

Yes external RCD required - seems to be missing in this job.

What if you used a swa gland in the outer part of the ev charger and then a stuffing gland in the inner ?

I guess that, as the compartment in between is not IP rated, then water could get down the outer gland from there?

Would that EV cable with the Cat5 built in not drop a lot packets! Even shielded Cat5 running in a conduit shared with AC power is gonna give a lot of interference. But for just a control panel on a charger I guess having good transfer speeds isn't too vital so it'll work.

The EV ultra cable is sensible for data, but you could potentially just have data over powerline if there was no chance of a wireless signal? Wonder if anyone's considered integrating that in.

The idea of a power cable with a data cable built-in goes against everything I was taught about running CAT5 cables and not running them closely in parallel with high current power cables. I'm guessing that these combined power and data cables have the appropriate shielding to mitigate this.

@@aaronmdjones in the netherlands. when there needs to be HIGH quality installations the signal cables are run next to high power but in a seperate cable tray. outside also in a seperate tube or flex or whatever. in theory is sounds fine to have high power next to signal cables but practice tells different! so i never never never do that

@@irshicosmos3233 if the cable manufacturer warrants its okay, that seems reason enough to trust them. And let’s be fair, high power AC actually doesn’t interfere very much with gigabit Ethernet. The main problem is safety. You never want to run Ethernet cable alongside mains wiring that could have its insulation damaged. But these special cables presumably have solved this problem.
