Course Information:

This two-day course is aimed at qualified electricians interested in understanding how to design and install the range of electric vehicle supply equipment and systems available; specifically designed for those proficient in designing low-voltage radial power circuits, with a focus on installing small-scale electric vehicle supply equipment in domestic and small commercial settings. By completing this qualification, electricians can enhance their expertise in regard to EV charging infrastructure, with the aim of ensuring safe and efficient installations for the growing demand in this field.

This course also identifies the requirements of BS 7671 section 722, providing an insight into the IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (currently 5th edition).

This qualification serves as a supplementary short course, supporting the professional development of competent electricians who meet industry entry requirements outlined in the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS).

Topics include additional methods of protecting against open PEN conductor faults and how to assess if an installation has an issue with diverted neutral current.  It also includes smart functions in EVSE and relevant items within the installation as a whole, as well as integration into prosumer’s electrical installations including the option of electric vehicles reverse feeding into the installation and/or supply grid.
