I'm surprised your electrician didn't know this
I'm worried your electrician had not thought about that .It's worrying your electrician didn't know this
you can get a pair of xray glasses from amazon if that helps.how do you guys as sparks find out what fuse is actually fitted
Thanks again for replies.
I've just looked up looped supply and now understand the concept.
Do SSE have accurate records of whether I am on a looped supply, and the supply cable size(s) ? 35 years ago !!
We are very rural, in one of a pair of cottages fed from overhead. The overhead runs about 400 yards to a more substantial set of overheads. I remember 35 years ago the linesman who installed our supply saying there is a 400 amp switch box there for isolating our overhead.
I think this might be expensive - or I just abandon it all and forget the EV charging 'future proofing'. Keep to petrol !!
I'll contact them tomorrow - maybe they will do a survey.
I'd have preferred my electrician to do this but he's ill at the mo.
Thanks all for your support and replies. Though I'm not an electrician I can understand all your replies and what the fundemental issues are.
The better EV charges have a current transformer for the main supply and will adapt the charging to keep your total below 60A (assuming the house is below 60 of course!)Now I think I'm buggered. Can't run all that with 60 amp main fuse ?
