Hi, I was looking for some advice regarding a mates EV charger that he had installed through a scheme when he bought the car.
He called me to loosen the charger off the wall so he could sort the roughcasting that the installer had burst whilst drilling through the wall.
Install seems shoddy, wall burst, no clips inside, cable clamp missing in charger, no test certs but my attention was drawn to the earth connection in the charger.
It has 2 earth connections, TT/TN-S and PME, he has connected into the TT side when it is a PME system that my mate has.
I called the installer to double check it was correct, he seemed unsure and that he only ever connects to TT and said to leave it.
I'm not familiar with car chargers, I thought they needed an earth rod but not sure if the technology has moved on over the years.
Should the earth connection be in the PME side?
It's an Easeeone charger that has been fitted, I've included a picture from the manual and the charger itself.
Thanks.
Thanks
John
