EV Charging and Lamp Posts

richard64

We have a job wiring lamp post lighting in a private car park.

Somebody has decided that an EV point will be fitted at each lamp post and will supply the light.

When you apply the 3% volt drop for the luminaire, obviously the cable size increases substantially.

Any thoughts?

    1/ Ask the person who has "decided" if they actually realise the additional costs to themselves, they may then decide to just carry on with the original contract of wiring lampost lighting.

    2/ Consult lamp manufacturers about your actual expected voltages/fluctuations.

    3/ Will changing from LV to ELV (and battery back up for instance) mitigate results
