- In todays video we are installing a hypervolt electric car charger on a new build property , This install was nice and neat and the best and easiest option was to install straight from the meter cupboard.

Thanks for watching :)
The cutout is rated at 100A. That's what the label refers to. They can fit whatever fuse they want into it.
Hello mate, bit of advice from an industrial spark, bootlace ferrules are designed for fine multi-strand conductors ( found in Flex, HO7, Tri-Rated etc) 7 strand conductors like what's found in SWA, 16mm Earth and that EV Ultra cable should have blade crimps installed if you feel they need something to keep the cores together at the termination. Ferrules can fail on these conductors :) Keep up the good work chap!
Cheers
Nice job Adam. Good to see how confident you are already despite being newly self employed
Cheers
As a meter installer the 100amp sticker actually is for maximum fuse allowed, it could be an 80amp. BG policy is they should’ve applied their own sticker to identify the correct fuse. Great work though mate!
Cheers 🤙🏻

U could put ur green ladder on ur roof rack on top of ur van and make space so u can access ur pack out kit from the back and also to make space for ur front shelving once u get ur selves fitted in the van
good vlog
You’re about to get a load of stick for putting that board inside the meter cupboard 😂 also, those Henley blocks aren’t (as far as I’m aware) accepted by any meter installers and will likely need changing to the proteus coloured ones (seperate ones for L and N)
Cheers 👍🏻
u move the isolator ADAM if so it is a meter cupboard not a electrician cupboard
From a meter tech don’t trust fuse rating and I don’t like them Henley blocks much prefer two Lucy Oxford blocks
Nice tidy job adam
Cheers I did look at the coloured blocks from leaden
Not sure I agree with this install Adam. The meter cupboard should not have a CU inside it. eFixx done a episode about it about a year ago. The ENA (Energy Networks Association) have a document stating what goes where in the meter cupboard. It also looks like the isolator is in the wrong position and has the cables going over the meter. On closer inspection it seems the iso has been moved as there are screw holes visiable for the orignal location.
blah blah blah sergio do me a favor. Good job nice to see how far u have come mate. only sergio u need is sertgio tacchini workware
Nice one mate! Rather see that BG board in there than on the wall, does the hypervolt have built it PEN protection?
Yes it does cheers
100% A BG meter installer didn't fit the iso like that haha. Nice job though
Thanks 😅
Not a bad job for your first ev install 😊
Have you done a ev charger course?
I mean he helped Corey install one. Corey’s done loads 😂
Try not to butt up the Henley right against the meter. The meter will get changed at some point, and it will be a slightly different size, so you really are going to annoy someone in future.
I get that however was limited 🤙🏻
He said it's a new build that's about a year old. I doubt the meter will be changed anytime soon.
@@roydowling2542 Is it a 3G smart meter? Aren’t they switching 3G off soon?
@@AndyK.1 No idea, I'm not from the UK.
@@roydowling2542there’s every chance it will be changed. If the home owner changed energy supplier chances are they’ll be getting a new meter fitted
Pull the fuse and fuck that isolator off no point messing around gets in the way
Adam did you relocate the isolator like that? If not who did? It’s clearly been moved, can see the screw holes where it ‘should’ be 😂
As seen on the video I didn’t move the isolator I just did what I could and make it look the best 👍🏻
Suspicious. Must have been the brother in law or Pavlo 😂
@@AndyK.1 fortunate though cos that BG board and Henley blocks were never going to fit in there before it was moved …. 😂
I thought the same
Cool video thanks
your brother in law should be very happy
Nice job Adam
Cheers
Meter cupboard is only for dno equipment. Tut tut
Personally I’d rather have it inside cupboard away from elements even tho it’s ip rated just doesn’t feel right
@@AdamDunlopElectrical massive no no unfortunately. m.czcams.com/video/864pJSfAuOY/video.html
not true, the DNO owns the head and the meter company owns the meter but the homeowner owns the cupboard. there's plenty of room left so there's no issue.
@@ChristmasCrustacean1 check out the video in the above comment. Energy Networks Association the set the regs for the dno state only equipment installed by the dno and energy company can be inside the meter cupboard.
@@ChristmasCrustacean1plenty of room left? Yes after the isolator has been moved sideways. There’s no room in there for all that. That’s why the tails are over the equipment, the Henley block has been rammed up against the meter. Ultimately that’s why BG produce that board suitable for outdoor use. That board would have looked fine on the right hand side of the cupboard. Now there would have been ‘no issues’
Is there any pride at all in new builds its like they deliberately want to put out shit
Is this the future. No.
Meet you there when you finally accept it later than everyone else
