Loose connections.


Cheers. Is there anything wrong with the positioning of the MCB as
suggested by Adrian?

Also, is that burnt out isolator switch suitable for a 7kW load over 8 hrs
say (as might occur when car charging)?

I am curious as to why there is an isolation switch.

All the EV chargers I have fitted have a one built in.

Um, Ive never seen a domestic charger with one built in. My Podpoint
doesnt have one. I have a RCBO switch next to my consumer unit for
isolating mine.



Now should that charger (I have no idea what make of charger it was)
have been fed from that type of RCD?


It was a Project EV charger.



I believe they have a built in DC protection device to keep the house
RCD working.
