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?

    Again thanks for all your replies and assistance.

    This is the tail end of a five year project, that I've only just got involved in.

    All the specs have been done by others, so that really is out of my hands.

    The two main issues are that they are trying to utilise ducts that were originally installed for just lamp post lighting, and they have a budget to stick to. It will go over budget, but I need to show the consultant that I've tried my best and can justify the overspend.

    Each block has two lifts and a 3 ph water pump, along with small power and lighting. I've carried out loading calculations and there's plenty of room for the current EV plan.

    There are some stand alone lighting bollards and columns, so I will check whether these can be added to with the EV columns. That would be the ideal solution, but will add to our costs. The site consultant will have to do something for his money in this instance.
