β‘ EV CHARGER INSTALLATION β IS YOURS SAFE? ππ
An EV charger that repeatedly trips shouldnβt simply be reset and forgotten about.
We recently attended an installation where we found several issues with the electrical supply to the charger, including:
β οΈ An MCB that didnβt match the make of the consumer unit.
β οΈ An AC-type RCD protecting the circuit.
β οΈ The charger sharing protection with other circuits.
β οΈ No surge protection.
β οΈ No PEN fault protection.
The circuit was also experiencing repeated tripping.
Weβve now installed the correct components to address these issues and bring the installation up to the required standard.
Your EV charger is a significant electrical load. Correct circuit protection, suitable equipment and proper installation matter.
Donβt just look at the charger on the wall β make sure the electrical installation behind it is right, too.
Choose a qualified, competent electrician and an appropriately authorised EV chargepoint installer. Your safety is worth it.
