This is the fuse box of a chap on Facebook who had a nasty experience after getting an 7kW EV charger fitted. I dont know enough to speculate on the cause but it there anything glaringly wrong here. https://www.amazon.co.uk/photos/share/ HMsmsBclYN4BpZwNC3mCqhBMutH239HHYn227WF3V0A Loose connection at the busbar, probably at the RCD, though could be at the first circuit breaker. There is a possibility that the busbar is not in the cage. It is possible on those breakers for the busbar to be touching the CB connection, but not tightened at all. Usually found soon after once things start flickering, but on a car charger there wouldnt be much of an indication of a poor connection. The switch is a common sight, burnt out due to a poor connection. With 10mm cable, and poor quality switches, it can be difficult to get a really tight connection. You think it is tight, twist the cable a little, and it is loose again.It doesnt help when the screw heads start splitting/ breaking, so you cannot tighten it enough anyway. Generally poorly installed. |
