Check the shown electrical measurements match the measured readings. This will allow checking the load management CT is fitted in the correct orientation and location. A negative value indicates reverse direction of power due to, e.g Solar surplus, but could also indicate that the clamp has been installed in a reversed (incorrect) orientation...

• Where applicable a test to confirm the earth electrode resistance is within acceptable tolerances. (or) • An earth loop impedance test. • A test of the mechanical operation of residual current devices (RCD’s). • A test to confirm the operation of residual current devices (RCD’s) is within stipulated time scales (at the rated current and at five times the rated current operating current).
Safety information Warning: The supplied Sync Energy charger is manufactured to be safe without risk provide they are installed correctly, used, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations and installed by a competent electrical installer in accordance with national and local regulations and legislation applicable at the time of installation, e.g.
Amendment 2 Wiring Regulations. To conform with BS 7671, on occasions a two pole MCB/RCD or other means of isolation may be required. Important note: A DC Leakage fault in the vehicle may “blind” a type “AC” RCD and render it ineffective, never feed any EVSE From an upstream Type “AC”...

from the distributors earth system with no direct interconnection (the incoming supply SWA protective earth should be isolated from the housing and/ or earth electrode). The electrical installer shall install a suitable electrode complete with termination housing and covers where appropriate, warning labels should be visible and close to the unconnected SWA protective earth, e.g.
Surge protection Guidance on requirements for surge protection devices given In BS7671: section 443. The EV charger is protected against transient over voltages (+/-2kV Line-Earth and +/-1kV Line-Line as a requirement of EN 61000-6-1), a direct lightning strike carries a current of 30~ 200kA the EV charger’s internal protection would provide little or no protection in such an event, likewise nor would an SPD rated less than 30kA.
Page 34
Isolation and switching for safety and maintenance To ensure the EV charger can be “turned off” to enhance security and enable maintenance activities, a two pole isolator (or DP RCD or RCBO) suitably rated must be installed within the customer’s property. An isolator switch is a mandatory requirement for “new builds”, but optional for existing dwellings (at customer’s request), the switch should be...
BS8300:2018. If no suitable permanent structure is available, the EV charger can be mounted to a stand. We recommend of the Sync Energy stand, EV ASTAND12S (single) or EV ASTAND12T (twin). Ensure suitable fixings are used depending on the mounting surface.
Page 36
Do not drill alternative cable entries into the charger housing, except marked cable entry location for rear or bottom entry. We recommend using Sync Energy Power & Data Combined cable on installs that require a CT clamp to use the chargers dynamic load management capabilities.
