The WPEVCU40BSP/8 is an 8 Way IP65 EV Connection Unit with Surge Protection designed for higher-load EV charger installations requiring dependable isolation and transient voltage protection. Built to order and supplied preassembled, it combines a 100A main switch isolator, 40A MCB, and Type 2 SPD within a compact, IP65-rated enclosure for quick, compliant installation.
Installer Tip: The 40A variant is ideal for EV chargers drawing up to 9.6kW or for circuits with higher diversity factors. Maintain short SPD earth connections (under 150mm) to comply with BS 7671 surge protection requirements and minimise let-through voltage.
| Model | MCB Rating | Main Switch | SPD Type | Ingress Rating | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WPEVCU32BSP/8 | 32A | 100A Isolator | Type 2 SPD | IP65 | Single EV charger (≤7.4kW) |
| WPEVCU40BSP/8 | 40A | 100A Isolator | Type 2 SPD | IP65 | High-load EV charger (≤9.6kW) |
This 40A configuration provides additional headroom for faster chargers or circuits under heavier load. Built in compliance with BS 7671 Amendment 2, it’s suitable for PME and TT systems when paired with a PME Fault Detection Unit or upstream Type A RCBO.
