EV Charging and Lamp Posts

richard64 over 3 years ago

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?

This system design is tiny. How many flats are there? A few points will never work, it will cause fights and all kinds of problems between residents if many ever have electric cars. Totally mad. Talk to the Council and see what the policy behind this is, if it is saying only a few residents can have cars, there is obviously a severe problem!

Hi David,

I'm sorry, but that really is irrelevant to the initial post. The EV design is for bigger and better people than me.

I just want my lights to work, and the cables we have been asked to pull in be the correct size.
