This Code of Practice provides a clear overview of EV charging equipment, as well as setting out the considerations needed prior to installation and the necessary physical and electrical installation requirements. It also details what needs to be considered when installing electric vehicle charging equipment in various different locations - such as domestic dwellings, on-street locations, and commercial and industrial premises. Key changes from the second edition include: Two completely new sections Vehicles as Energy Storage Integration with smart metering and control, automation and monitoring systems A new Annex A complete update to the new requirements in BS 7671:2018 Bringing the Code in line with revised regulations and good practice The risk assessments and checklists have also been reviewed and revised. This very well established Code of Practice, supported by all the major stakeholders in the industry, is essential reading for anyone involved in the rapid expansion of EV charging points, and those involved in maintenance, extension, modification and periodic verification of electrical installations that incorporate EV charging.

Plug-in electric vehicles are coming. Major automakers plan to commercialize their first models soon, while Israel and Denmark have ambitious plans to electrify large portions of their vehicle fleets. No technology has greater potential to end the United States' crippling dependence on oil, which leaves the nation vulnerable to price shocks, supply disruptions, environmental degradation, and national security threats including terrorism. What does the future hold for this critical technology, and what should the U.S. government do to promote it? Hybrid vehicles now number more than one million on America's roads, and they are in high demand from consumers. The next major technological step is the plug-in electric vehicle. It combines an internal combustion engine and electric motor, just as hybrids do. But unlike their precursors, PEVs can be recharged from standard electric outlets, meaning the vehicles would no longer be dependent on oil. Widespread growth in the use of PEVs would dramatically reduce oil dependence, cut driving costs and reduce pollution from vehicles. National security would be enhanced, as reduced oil dependence decreases the leverage and resources of petroleum exporters. Brookings fellow David Sandalow heads up an authoritative team of experts including former government officials, private-sector analysts, academic experts, and nongovernmental advocates. Together they explain the current landscape for PEVs: the technology, the economics, and the implications for national security and the environment. They examine how the national interest could be served by federal promotion and investment in PEVs. For example, can tax or procurement policy advance the cause of PEVs? Should the public sector contribute to greater research and development? Should the government insist on PEVs to replenish its huge fleet of official vehicles? Plug-in electric vehicles are coming. But how soon, in what numbers, and to what effect? Feder

LED lighting is a fast-developing technology that is becoming more popular as people begin to realise the advantages it provides, such as energy efficiency, controllability and longevity. However, poor quality installation of LED lighting systems could negate these advantages and result in inadequate lighting, failure to meet lifetime performance expectations, potential public health and safety issues or even interference with other technology due to poor systems integration. This Code of Practice has been developed to provide confidence to users as a minimum standard for LED lighting systems installation, as well as to serve as a useful reference on the application of LED lighting systems.

This Code of Practice, published January 2012, aims to provide expert guidance on EV charging equipment installation, an important emerging area which is not covered in detail by the current edition of the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) or the IET's Guidance Notes. Aimed at experienced electricians interested in understanding a wide range of equipment and systems available, it covers the specialized installation requirements of electric vehicle charging equipment in public, private and commercial locations. The Code of Practice provides detailed on-site guidance and recommendations on all aspects of the installation from the origin of the electrical supply, through distribution and final circuits, installation of the charging equipment itself to the cable between the charging equipment and vehicle's electrical inlet. Also included are related issues of site layout and planning and subsequent inspection, testing, certification and maintenance of installations. Exclusive guidance on latest electrical requirements The Code of Practice includes an overview of all types of equipment, connectors and cables that an installer is likely to encounter and provides detailed references to all relevant standards and regulatory requirements in the UK - including, in Section 5, the latest guidance based on advice from the HSE on: * When to use TT earthing * Special precautions for connecting to TN-C-S (PME supplies) * The use of electrical separation, isolating transformers and RCDs * The need for a separate, dedicated electrical circuit for EV charging. Written by industry experts This authoritative and timely document has been developed by a committee of experts representing the key players across the EV industry: * British Electrotechnical and Allied Manufacturers Association (BEAMA) * Charging equipment manufacturers: Chargemaster, Elektromotive, Pod-Point * Electrical contractors: ECA, SELECT * Electrical Safety Council * Energy Networks Association * Energy Retail Association members: Centrica, EDF, E.ON, RWE Npower, Scottish Power, Scottish & Southern Energy * Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) * Government: OLEV, HSE, DCLG * Plugged-In Places scheme members: Charge Your Car (North), Source East, Source London * Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) * The IET's Technical Regulations team Book readership This is a hands-on guide of immediate practical use to trained installers. The Code will also be invaluable to administrators and managers specifying and procuring EV charging equipment and contractors. Finally, it will be essential reference for manufacturers of cars and charging equipment who need guidance on how to meet the requirements of electrical supply and installation standards.
