22kW Smart EV Charger – Arabian Ranches Case Study
Detailed case study of a three-phase fast charging station installation. Read how our Al Quoz teams ran armored cabling and secured Emaar approvals.
Project Photo Gallery
Project summary: Fixer Guy successfully completed a 22kW smart EV charger installation at a luxury villa in Arabian Ranches, Dubai. Operating from our Al Quoz base, our crews upgraded the distribution board with a dedicated three-phase safety breaker, routed 25 meters of armored cable underground, and mounted a smart Type 2 charger with dynamic load balancing. We secured the necessary Emaar community gate passes and DEWA load approvals in under two weeks. The project restored fast home charging, providing full vehicle battery capacity in four hours.
Project Scope & Challenges
The homeowner required a fast 22kW charging station mounted in their garage carport, located 25 meters away from the main electrical distribution room. Running the heavy 5-core armored cabling required routing along boundary wall margins and executing localized driveway trenching.
Solutions Implemented
Our certified electrical crews implemented several key steps:
- Emaar NOC: We prepared the structural layout and electrical drawing to secure community FM approval.
- Trenching & Restoration: We trenched 5 meters of garden bed and restored the topsoil and grass completely.
- Board Integration: We installed a 4-pole MCB breaker and a Type B RCD surge protection breaker.
- Dynamic Balancing: Configured current clamp balancing to prioritize home AC loads during summer.
DEWA Safety Regulations and Electrical Compliance
Any electrical installation drawing from Dubai's main power grid must comply with the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) regulations and the BS 7671 wiring standards. High-power appliances like electric vehicle chargers draw continuous current for hours, which can cause significant thermal stress on terminal blocks, main breakers, and power cables. If wired incorrectly, it can lead to insulation degradation, short circuits, or grid phase imbalances.
At Fixer Guy, we ensure compliance by installing dedicated Type A or Type B Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) directly on your main distribution board. A Type B RCD is required for three-phase chargers because standard household breakers cannot detect DC leakage currents, which can disable your RCD protection. We also install dedicated copper earthing rods to verify ground fault pathways, ensuring that any short circuit is immediately diverted to the ground.

Safety Compliance & DEWA Regulations
As a professional electrical services provider based in Al Quoz, Fixer Guy strictly adheres to the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) regulations, BS 7671 wiring standards, and local municipality codes. Installing an electric vehicle charging station requires advanced load assessments to prevent main breaker trips, proper grounding/earthing systems, and matching RCD protection breakers (Type A or B depending on charger leakage). Our certified electricians wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and use calibrated testers to verify loop impedance, insulation integrity, and safety shut-off mechanisms. We only source charging equipment that matches local UAE standards (including Type 2 IEC sockets) and coordinate NOC approvals with developers (such as Emaar, Nakheel, and Dubai Properties) and building managements for hassle-free deployments.
