FastAmps EV Charger Installation in Attleborough

Electric11 installed a wall-mounted FastAmps EV charger for a vehicle workshop in Attleborough. The wider project included an EICR of the workshop’s fixed electrics and PAT testing for 60 portable items. The customer gained a convenient workplace charging point, documented appliance testing and a clear list of remedial priorities for the existing installation.

The workshop’s three-phase distribution board already served equipment including vehicle lifts, compressors, lighting and socket circuits. Before adding another significant electrical load, the team reviewed the existing supply, distribution equipment and proposed cable route.

This assessment helped establish a suitable connection point and a practical position for the charger. Mounting the unit on the exterior brick wall gave drivers easy access while keeping the charging cable clear of the working areas inside.

Electric11 installed the tethered FastAmps unit on an exterior wall beside the workshop. The installation specification allowed for up to 15 metres of cabling between the supply and charger position, together with surge protection and a Type A RCBO where required by the final circuit design.

Once connected, the charger was set up for everyday use and the FastAmps app information was provided for charge monitoring and control. The result was a tidy, accessible charging point suited to a busy commercial setting.

An EV charger is a sustained electrical load, so the circuit design and protective devices are as important as the charger itself. Electric11 assessed the existing distribution equipment, circuit capacity and cable route before completing the connection.

The project provision included:

• Up to 15 metres of suitable cabling

• A dedicated connection from the workshop electrical installation

• Surge protection where required

• Type A RCBO protection where required

• Electrical testing and commissioning

This approach helps ensure that the charger circuit is correctly protected and suitable for dependable workplace use.

Alongside the charger work, Electric11 carried out an EICR on the existing workshop installation. The recorded outcome was unsatisfactory because remedial issues were identified:

• An oversized MCB

• No RCD protection on a socket circuit

• A broken twin pattress

These findings related to the existing workshop electrics and were recorded separately from the completed EV charger installation. The report gave the customer a clear list of remedial priorities so the wider installation could be brought up to the required standard.

Property owners who need an assessment of existing fixed wiring can arrange an EICR certificate in Attleborough with Electric11.

Electric11 also completed PAT testing across 60 portable electrical items at the workshop. In an environment where tools, chargers, office equipment and other appliances are used regularly, planned inspection and testing supports safer day-to-day operation and more organised maintenance records.

Electric11 provides PAT testing in Attleborough for businesses, landlords and other organisations that need portable appliances checked by a qualified professional.

The workshop gained a conveniently positioned FastAmps EV charger supported by a dedicated electrical connection and commissioning checks. Completing the EICR and PAT testing during the wider project also gave the customer a clearer view of the condition of the existing installation and the remedial work still required.

The result was a practical workplace charging facility, documented electrical testing and an actionable route towards improving the safety of the wider premises.
