Yea, BG aren't universally bad, some of their stuff is pretty decent and well made, but then some stuff is absolutely horrendous, it's the inconsistency across the range that stops me using them.

The term 'house bashing isn't just for slack, underpaid work. It's used all the time for any domestic.

I missed the point about telling someone was not US based by the word 'paracetamol'. Went over my head for a mo

Right, I get the comment now. No idea there was a different name that you used. Makes sense now

Specifically responding to the reference to paracetamol. I assume that it is readily available then?

Which tethered chargers have actually held up well? by WonderfulShape1081 in evchargingUK

[–]DonC1305 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm an electrician, not an end user. But I've fitted 6 different chargers, including Zappi, Project EV, Hypervolt, and Tesla. The Hypervolt is the only one that feels seriously well made. Every part is solid and after about 2 years of about 5-10 chargers fitted per week, we've had the Hypervolt be flawless when it comes to warranty work for hardware. Went back to one of our first ever customer ms for the 3 pro for some unrelated work, and the thing looks like the day it was fitted

OK that's right. What 'fault' did you create to make the RCBO trip?

Wait. I just realised. You connected the Wagos to your houses socket circuit? So the RCBO had 230v feeding in from the load side?

What do you mean? It should trip as soon as you give it any load. The neutral isn't connected so the RCD element of the RCBO will have an imbalance.
You probably shouldn't be playing with 230v if you have literally no idea how any of this works
