Installing a 32A socket for a motor home at a domestic property

Alan B

I have just had an enquiry for installing a 32A commando socket to power a motor home.

(Not for EV according to the customer at least)

Assuming it is for a motor home and the customer has a TNCS or TNS supply that I have to assume is or could be TNCS, do I need to address open pen risks.

If I do need to address open pen issues the most practical solution is probably going to be an open pen detector.

    Hm! 32 A is enough for a house!

    If the motor home has a 32 A plug, how will they hook up at the average camp site?

    The motor home could, of course, be an EV.

    Sorry, I am not answering your question, but I think treat as an EV.

    That's basically my thoughts as well.


    I have more or less made my mind up that I am going to just say I believe it is likely to be used to charge an EV at some point and therefore it needs open pen detection.

    Of you could believe that it is for a container or a caravan, and should be TT..

    32A is quite a lot for a caravan, but not unknown to have the option on a big one.

    Its why leads like this exist.

    regs wise, I'm not sure where you stand for using an O-PEN detector for a load that is not an EV - its only actually  recommended for vehicles at the moment.
