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?

    Just to give a bit of history.

    The lamp posts are to be fitted and will be fed from the landlord's supply.

    The EV points are an afterthought, and will utilise the existing ducting; which limits the number ands size of the cables.

    Each EV point will be 5Kw and supplied via open PEN protection. This is all to be supplied and fitted by the EV Installation/Supply company.

    We are just responsible for installing the cables and making sure they are the correct size.

    Currently my view is that we wire the lighting separately, or the client agrees to a blanket 5% volt drop.
