POD Point PP_2111 Installation Manual - page 9
In this format electricity is supplied to the POD Point from an existing distribution board. This format is typically utilised in
commercial car parks where an existing supply may be extended.
In all cases, the supply arrangements must be confirmed by a qualified electrician familiar with the site. The following acts
as a guide only.
The POD Point needs a supply protected by a 64A (min) double pole protective device which can be BS88-2.2 or BS88-6 or
a circuit breaker to BSEN60898 type B or and RCBO to BSEN61009-1 delayed type or a 64A min. protective device to BS1361
or BS3036. (Table 7.1 in the Onsite Guide of BS7671 2008). `This device is at the supply end.
POD Point is protected internally by at 30ms RCD, therefore if an additional RCD is required for the installation, it must be a
time delay type such as Time Delay DP RCCB type ‘S’ 100A/100ms.
Depending on the site location a dedicated earth may be required. A detailed investigation is required of the site earth
arrangements to confirm this.
