No - you must remove the erroneous connections between the circuits. Putting them on the same RCCB doesn't remove the danger.

In fairness very, very few existing DBs would be suitable, and they would also be unlikely to stock all different types/makes of protective device. Many brands don't have double pole switching RCBOs in a single module, which will rule many boards out.

No, but they can refuse to install unless it meets their own particular requirements.

Wrong way round. PME is one type of TN-C-S system.

RCCB for £10? £80 all in? That's no Electrician. Even a handyman would be dearer. And no-one can find an RCCB for a tenner.

In fairness I would suggest that it's very common for socket-outlets nowadays to be DP switching, although it was certainly much less common in the past.

If you can afford to pull more than 60A constantly through the night then you should probably just rapid charge your EV rather than fit a chargepoint, and heat your house by burning banknotes in an open fire.

Absolutely no need. Even a 60A supply would be more than ample. In fact you need advance permission from the DNO to exceed 60A/phase with an EVSE.

Given the illegality of it under ESQCR any claim of it being "safe" would seem somewhat foolish.

Would it indeed? Would the courts concur?

"Not unsafe" is merely an opinion.

Yes it does, and as per @SimonH2's response.

You were the one who asked what was used there though. And by all means look it up.

RD415 cable is used in the south of Ireland for domestic smoke/CO detector installations. It has a pink sheath. And, contrary to your beliefs, it is absolutely used for smoke alarm installations despite not being used for other purposes.

An oldish thread, but here's an example: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058108505/andy-from-sligo?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=andy+from+sligo

Are you ever on boards.ie now? I see you are missed by many there when you're not on. You're a national treasure at this stage.

A Registered Electrical Contractor (REC) could sort this for you Andy from Sligo.

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.
