  • For assessing if the installed newly installed consumer unit is okay I would assume it’s got a 100 amp fuse.


    For assessing if an EV charger or a similar big load can be connected I would assume it’s a 60 amp fuse.


    As JP said it isn’t suitable for connecting an EV charger to and I would not recommend a shower larger than 8.5 kW.


    The only way to find out for certain is to ask the DNO and they will probably need to come and open the box. That’s a lot of hassle for them just for you to fill an entry on a certificate, if you assess it’s okay with either a 60, 80 or 100 amp fuse just write N/V in the box and crack on with the next job.
