Main protective bonding (equipotential bonding) is completely different to Earthing, and is a fundamental safety requirement.

Hager may not be the best option for that, as their single module RCBOs do not break the neutral, which is a requirement for a circuit supplying an EVSE.

It's known as Mode 2. "Level 1" is an American term.

You don't get SWA glands at any of the sizes you mentioned. Are you sure you know what you are doing?

It's possible I suppose, but I just don't know. Our definitely just keeps time rather than syncing so far as I can tell. My immersion heater, chargepoint and electric van all have the offset from correct time so as not to use extortionate peak electricity consumption!

My (digital) one is approximately two minutes and three seconds out. Can't say whether it's by accident or design.

Interestingly here every Economy 7 tariff (regardless of supplier) is 1a.m. to 8a.m. GMT (i.e. 2a.m. to 9a.m. during daylight savings).

And for completeness DC rapid charging (CCS/CHAdeMO) is Mode 4.

Nonsense. Stg £1,100 is on the ludicrously cheap side for an EVSE installation.

Removing a safety device is completely unacceptable.

Bottom RHS is the only acceptable contractor's cable entry.

It doesn't imply that it regards them as that at all, but merely that it might afford a like level of protection.

The sheath isn't "as good as insulation" though, even where it had insulating properties. It isn't tested for these.

Cables are not "double insulated" though. That is a common misnomer. They are insulated and sheathed. (Obviously precluding non-sheathed cables such as singles.)

MIMS has a conductive sheath.
