01
Tesla Wall Connector
The Tesla charger was securely mounted in a practical location that allows the charging cable to reach the vehicle comfortably without creating an obstruction around the garage.
Recent EV Charger Project
New Tesla EV Charger Installation
A new Tesla Wall Connector installed with a dedicated consumer unit, PEN fault protection and a complete electrical assessment to provide safe and reliable home charging.
Safe Home Charging
Another Professional Tesla Charger Installation
We recently completed another domestic electric vehicle charging project, installing a new Tesla Wall Connector to provide the customer with a convenient, dependable and professionally protected home charging point.
The charger was positioned neatly on the external brick wall beside the garage, giving the customer easy access when parking while keeping the charging cable organised and ready for everyday use.
Installing an EV charger involves much more than simply attaching the unit to the wall. The existing electrical installation must be assessed, the proposed cable route must be planned and suitable protection must be provided for the dedicated charging circuit.
For this project, we installed a dedicated consumer unit incorporating PEN fault protection. We then completed the required inspection, testing and electrical assessment to confirm that the finished installation was safe and ready for continued use.

Project Details
What Was Included in the Installation?
The charger, electrical protection and assessment were completed as one coordinated installation rather than treating the charger as a standalone appliance.
02
Dedicated Consumer Unit
A separate consumer unit was installed specifically for the EV charging equipment, providing suitable circuit protection and clear isolation from the remainder of the property’s circuits.
03
PEN Fault Protection
The installation incorporates PEN fault protection, helping protect the user and vehicle if an open PEN conductor fault develops within the incoming electrical supply.
Electrical Protection
Dedicated Consumer Unit With PEN Fault Protection
Electric vehicle chargers can place a substantial electrical demand on a property, particularly when the vehicle is charging for several hours. The charging circuit must therefore be designed correctly and protected by equipment suited to EV charging.
For this installation, a dedicated consumer unit was fitted to house the protective equipment for the Tesla Wall Connector. Separating the charger circuit in this way makes the installation easier to identify, isolate, inspect and maintain.
PEN fault protection is especially important where an EV charger is connected to a TN-C-S electrical supply. In the event of a problem with the combined protective earth and neutral conductor, dangerous voltage could potentially appear on exposed conductive parts.
The protection equipment monitors the electrical supply and disconnects the charger when conditions indicate a potentially unsafe PEN fault. This provides an important additional safety measure without requiring a separate earth electrode in installations where the selected equipment provides compliant built-in or external protection.
Designed specifically for EV charging
The protective equipment, cable and circuit arrangement were selected around the requirements of the charger and the existing electrical installation.
Installation Benefits
Why Install a Dedicated Home EV Charger?
A professionally installed charger provides a safer, faster and more convenient way to keep an electric vehicle ready for everyday use.
Convenient Charging
Charge the vehicle at home without relying entirely on public charging locations or regularly moving a portable charging cable.
Dedicated Protection
The charger operates on a purpose-designed circuit with protective equipment selected specifically for the installation.
Faster Charging
A suitable home wall connector can provide significantly faster charging than relying on a standard domestic socket.
Tidy Installation
The wall-mounted charger keeps the charging lead stored neatly and ready for use beside the vehicle parking area.
Inspection & Testing
Electrical Assessment Completed for Another Year
Alongside the new charger installation, the necessary electrical assessment was completed to confirm that the installation remained suitable and safe for continued use.
Testing is a vital part of any EV charger project. It confirms that the protective devices operate correctly, the circuit has been connected properly and the electrical characteristics of the installation are within the required limits.
The completed checks provided the customer with confidence that the charger, consumer unit and associated electrical equipment were ready for another year of dependable service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tesla EV Charger Installation FAQs
Can you install a Tesla Wall Connector at my home?
Yes. The property and electrical installation will first be assessed to confirm the appropriate cable route, protection equipment and available electrical capacity.
Does an EV charger need its own circuit?
A home EV charger will normally require a dedicated circuit with suitable protective equipment selected for the charger and electrical installation.
What is PEN fault protection?
PEN fault protection is designed to disconnect the charger if a potentially dangerous fault develops in the combined protective earth and neutral conductor of a TN-C-S supply.
Will I need a new consumer unit?
Not every property requires a complete consumer unit replacement. A dedicated EV consumer unit may be installed where this provides the most suitable compliant solution.
Is the charger tested after installation?
Yes. The dedicated circuit, protective devices, earthing arrangement and charger operation are inspected and tested before the installation is handed over.
Do you install chargers outside Eastleigh?
Yes. DJ Webb Electrical covers Eastleigh, Winchester, Chandlers Ford, Fair Oak, Bishopstoke, Hedge End, Southampton and other nearby Hampshire locations.
