An integral 30mA AC and 6mA DC earth leakage protection device is also included. An earth rod or an expensive external PME PEN fault protection device is not required. Can I Install My own Alpha7? We would very strongly recommend against this unless you are a professional electrician with a current qualification for the 18th edition wiring regulations: BS EN7671: as well as specific training, certification, and experience in EV charger installation. We recommend that you speak to a qualified and experienced local installer to arrange this work. What’s the difference between Untethered and tethered chargers? A tethered charger has an integrated cable that plugs directly into your car charging port. A socketed charger uses the charging cable that usually comes with your car: both ends need to be plugged in.
