Hi all,
New ill ( not used yet) of 7.5kw EV charge point.
New house consumer unit fitted 6months ago and fitted with 16mm tails as the main fuse was 80amp.
Electric company then come to visit to see if the installation is OK for an EV charge point.
They stay yes it is, but the main fuse is changed up to a 100amp. Seems odd to me!
Then the guy comes to fit a new small consumer unit that has surge protection and a double pole B40 circuit breaker.
They use 10mm tails to supply this unit connected just after the meter. (NOT from the house consumer unit). Just after the 100amp fuse.
The sticker on the side of their newly fitted consumer unit says there is an rcd inside that needs tested monthly, BUT there is no rcd here.
Is this the correct installation.
A few things seem very wrong to me.
Any constructive advice would be good.
