STEP 6 (At the Consumer Unit)
Connect the supply cable. We recommend using method 1 below as this is the easiest way to be compliant.
Connection Method 1:
A separate consumer unit spurred into the existing meter tails is installed just for the use of the Hypervolt unit. HyperConnect (1 Wire Method Orange cable only)
is run from the Hypervolt unit and a joint made within the consumer unit to the CT Clamp. If you are not using HyperConnect then run a separate supply cable
and separate Cat5 cable for the CT (2 wire method Orange & Black Cables) these cables must not be run directly alongside each other.
Connection Method 2:
This is the same as above apart from the supply is taken from an existing consumer unit. Both wiring methods can still be used.
For Both Methods
A suitably sized overcurrent protective device must be installed to protect the Hypervolt circuit. The Hypervolt takes a maximum load just below 32A.
Consideration should be given to if a 32A or 40A device is used based upon the operating environment. A 32A device may run too warm and trip out prematurely
over a long charging period especially if it is between other loaded devices. In all cases the Hypervolt must also be protected by an external RCD device (Type AC
devices must not be used).
