The WPRC32BSP/8 is an 8 way IP65 plastic enclosure fitted with a 32A B Curve Type A RCBO and integrated Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD). Designed for EV charge points, outdoor distribution circuits, and renewable installs, it provides overload, short-circuit, earth leakage, and surge protection in a single weatherproof unit.
With a 32A rating and B curve tripping characteristic, this model is best suited to domestic EV supplies, single charge point installs, and general outdoor circuits where regulation compliance and reliable protection are essential. The factory-fitted Type A RCBO offers 6mA DC detection, making it 18th Edition Amendment 2 compliant for EV and inverter-driven equipment.
Installer Tip: Choose the B Curve option for standard domestic loads. For circuits with higher inrush currents (such as heat pumps or commercial EV chargers), select a C Curve variant.
Key Features
- 32A B Curve Type A RCBO – earth leakage and overload protection with 6mA DC detection
- Factory-fitted Type 2 SPD – 20kA/40kA transient surge defence
- 8 way IP65-rated plastic enclosure – weatherproof and dust-tight with hinged cover
- Pre-assembled and UK stocked – saves install time on site
- Complies with BS EN 61009 and BS EN 61439-3

Why use a Type A RCBO?
Type A RCBOs detect both AC and smooth DC leakage up to 6mA, making them compliant for EV chargers, heat pumps, and inverter-driven equipment. For standalone RCBOs, view our Type A RCBO range.
Does this include surge protection?
Yes, a factory-fitted Type 2 SPD (20kA/40kA) protects against transient overvoltages. For three-phase boards, see our 3 Phase SPD units.
Is this enclosure suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The IP65-rated plastic housing with hinged cover ensures safe operation in outdoor or damp environments. For EV installs requiring PME compliance, pair with a PME Fault Detection Unit.
Are other amperage or curve options available?
Yes. This 32A B Curve unit is part of a family that includes 32A C Curve, 40A B Curve, and 40A C Curve models. Compare all above.
