Advice please... TT metal/ plastic cu

[sythai]

Morning all

After some advice please, thank you.

I've installed a 40amp submain for a garage supply, wired in SWA and have exported the PME (tin hat on)

30ma RCD in house, main switch in garage cu.

All good until customer tells me that they're having a a car charger installed.

New regs stipulate this must be on TT system.

So off we are today to change it all over. Move RCD to garage and bang a rod in.

One question which I think I know the answer to, is that the nice newly installed metal garage cu now has to be changed to plastic? Am I correct.

Thanks Sy

I would suggest you red BS7671 Section 722 Sy and not listen to your customer, who obviously has been miss informed.

Why read the regs? Just ask on here.

I don't know about you, but I simply don't have loads of time to read and remember all of the regs.......

Saves a fortune asking on here and not having to purchase all the GNs OSG and BGB or BYB.

Think I will start doing that myself

What may I ask is your reasoning behind that statement ?

I’ve better things to do other than read a load of misinformation.

Here's you go : 722.411.4.1

And haven't had to install any TT for a very long time, hence the question.

if you read on it says "The requirements of this regulation need not be applied for the charging point at a dwelling...."

So is the charging point outside? if so move inside the garage!
