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?

    5 kW, for reasons I don't entirely understand, seems to be common for lamppost charging. There are thousands of 5 kW Ubitricity lamppost ones in London, and a lesser number in Portsmouth. Some other towns seem to also have clusters of 5 kW ones owned by CityEV.
