@NikolaiBeier

Let an electrician measure the impedance of that earth rod (an electrode) to the 'general mass of earth' or the 'loop impedance' to see if it generally has a high resistance that is barely good enough. Maybe parts of the rod further down into the soil is also corroded and making a poor contact to the soil around it. Then a new rod, or electrodes embedded in conductive concrete should help decrease/improve the contact resistance to the soil. Some say 'conductive concrete' works well, and reduces corrosion of metal parts embedded into the concrete. Manufacturers talk about 60 years of life expectancy.

Nice to see you back on the tools Jordan. One thing if you don’t mind me asking - can an EV charger be fitted to a supply that is looped off next door, does this differ by dno’s or is it a no go? I know my supply is looped and I am end of the line. The supply cable comes from the road, down next doors drive, connects into next door, around the back of the house to mine (semi detached). To put the icing on the cake, next door have just had their drive done with tarmac. The main cable in the street runs past the front of my drive too so I don’t know why they looped it, it would have been shorter to run from the street. I suppose I could report it as high Ze, it’s 0.36 on a pme but I doubt they’ll do anything.

Instead of a copper bus bar to stop the drill damaging the cable in the DB, I find a bolster chisel works best.

4mm? In any circumstances would you install a 10mm incase the customer in future fits a fast charger? When it's such a short run especially.

Nice video Jordan, did I hear you say you used 4mm cable (NYY-J)? For those watching this thinking about having an EV Charger fitted, don't use BP Pulse. I have to because a free installation was included with the car. 5 months into the process and still not fitted. OK, I have not been making a fuss because the car is only just about to arrive. They have asked for the same information multiple times, plus photos, I don't mind sending it but they ask for different things and then ignore what I have already sent! They never answer the phone! The latest mail asked if I have a spare location on the NON-RCD side of the board (again) and then they say I have to have an Isolator after the meter in the meter cupboard! Why could they not have told me that before! I now have to try to get the supply company out to do that - which will no doubt cost three times what it should and take ages! So is it true that you sparks can't add a new MCB in a CU unless the tails are dead? What's wrong with isolating the main switch in the CU??
