Electric Vehicle Charger Installations

Thinking of changing to Green Power?

Have you ever thought of what does it look like to install an EV Charger? Most of the people would think it just to connect one end to the Consumer Unit and other to the EV Charger. The EV industry is very strict regarding the Regulations we need to follow, it must to have Surge Protection , minimum of Type A Double Pole RCD protection and PEN fault detection.

What is Surge Protection Device…Surge Protection Device is Protecting your appliances (in this case your Electric Vehicle) to get damaged in the event of high Surge.

What is RCD… Residual Current Device is an Earth Fault Detection Device, its operates in the event of earth fault within 40ms, but because in Electric Vehicles there is DC, therefore it need to have a minimum of Type A RCD protection which is for 30mA AC and 6mA DC leakage.

What is a PEN Fault Detection Device… PEN Fault Detection Device is cut the Line, Neutral and Earth at the event of fault, saves you to be electrocuted meanwhile your Vehicle is on charge and you touching it. PEN fault reported 3-400 times a year.

Fortunately most of the Protections are built in the majority of the EV Chargers but no Surge Protections, also 90% of the older Domestic premises hasn’t got an Up to date Consumer Unit( Metal Consumer Unit with Type A RCD with Surge Protection) therefore its common to Install a Separate Small Unit next to your Electric Meter Box either an IP68 unit if its outside or if its inside an IP20 EV unit which has its own Type A RCD (Residual Current Device) and SPD (Surge Protection Device) and the Charger can be fed from it.
