Hybrid Electric Vehicle Charger.

Should a plug in home E.V. charger be protected by a type A R.C.D?

  • It all depends whether the socket-outlet is intended for EV charging ... or not ?

  • The new outside socket is intended for the E.V. plug-in lead. I installed an A type R.C.D. beside the 13 Amp socket outside. What about potential "blinding" of the two split load consumer unit A.C. type R.C.D.s? The charger lead is rated at 10 Amps. The new outside socket for it is run as a spur from the house ring final circuit.
