3-pin Plug
The Ohme Cable can be plugged into any household socket to charge your vehicle. We recommend
that your electrical system is inspected by a competent electrician to ensure the circuit is safe for
the continuous demands of EV charging.
For frequent charging, we recommend that an external dedicated socket is installed by a competent
electrician to avoid any risks of overload to existing household electrics.
It is not necessary to inform your local DNO (Distribution Network Operator) that a charge point has
been installed.
Do not use multi-plug adaptors or extension leads with the Ohme Cable. Many of these are not
suitable for the continuous, high loads drawn by electric vehicle charging.
Commando Socket
Commando sockets are widely used in industry to power small industrial appliances, similar to the
sockets you would see at a caravan park. They make great, simple, inexpensive connectors for your
Ohme Cable. They are readily available rated at 32 Amps / 7.4 kW to fast charge your EV.
For use in a domestic environment,
“interlocked” Commando sockets
are recommended. These are
fitted with a switch so the power can be isolated before the connector is removed. Your electrician
will be familiar with these sockets.
Included with the Ohme Cable is a short
“Guide for Electricians” document, which will
make sure
your electrician knows exactly what you need them to do.
Type 2
The Type 2 Ohme Cable has been developed to
“upgrade”
an existing charge point to smart. This
cable simply plugs into a Type 2 untethered charge point. There is no additional installation
necessary.
The Ohme Cable will
“talk to” your charge point and make sure that it does not
charge above the
rating of your unit. It is therefore safe to use a 32 Amp Ohme Cable, for instance, with a 16A charge
point.
