Hi, I'm looking for advice before booking an installation.
My subboard (rated 40A max and has 40A RCD) runs from 20A MCB on main board.
Garage has two circuits:
One remaining space on the subboard where I'd like to install Wallbox Pulsar Plus (7.4kW)
The flex from main board to subboard is chunky, not sure what thickness.
Specs say 32A max current for the EV charger. If the MCB on main board is upgraded does this sound like it should work? Or is a subboard rated 40A max a bit low?
If we have to run off the main board it's no big deal, just a bit more work for the installer to fish cables across ceiling, and a few metres more flex but well within budget for cabling allowed for on the quote.
Thanks for any help.
