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?

    There is a housing estate in Hereford built in the 1980’s where I was responsible for positioning all the street lights, a story in itself, I definitely did not position them with the thought in mind that one day some of them might have retrofitted EVSE.

    It amazes me that (outside London) folk often park on the kerb/pavement in total disregard and no comeback (ok on some roads there`s not much alternative so at least you can understand that and sympathise a bit but most roads no. It`s and offence to drive on the pavement but not, in itself, to park there (barring obstruction) . So if they park here how do they get here by not driving. I suppose if it went to court you`d have to prove it was not actually dropped in by helicopter
